Episode notes

In this week's episode, I explore the very dark consequences of putting children online. I specifically focus on children whose parents post on their behalf— turning them into 'child influencers.' I look at how posting content of minors online relinquishes control of their image & how that can end up in the wrong hands. I finish by diving into the laws in both the U.S. and Australia that do or do not protect children on social media.
