Utah's Proposed Legislation on Child Influencers
Utah is considering legislation to provide legal protections for child influencers, sparked by increasing concerns about their welfare and compensation. The proposed bill would require that a portion of the earnings from monetized content featuring children be placed into a trust, accessible to them once they turn 18. This proposal comes in the wake of high-profile cases, such as the arrest of Ruby Frankie, a mom blogger whose actions drew attention to the risks associated with family vlogging. If passed, these regulations could set a precedent that might influence the influencer industry nationwide.
