Illinois has implemented a new law to protect child influencers, requiring parents to set up a trust for their children's income from content creation to ensure they cannot solely access the earnings. This law aims to safeguard children's rights and prevent exploitation in the increasingly popular era of family vlogging. The legislation mirrors California's Child Actor's Bill from the 1930s. Similarly, Denmark has joined forces with multiple organizations to protect minors from social media addiction, advocating against harmful algorithms and design features that encourage addictive behavior. The initiative stresses the importance of setting age restrictions and appropriate content for minors to strike a balance between digital and real-life experiences.
