We’ve all seen “family vloggers” sharing every moment of their kids’ lives: from first words to potty training to emotional breakdowns. But is it ethical—or even legal—for influencers to turn their children into full-time content?
This article unpacks how influencer parents profit from their kids while those same children have no legal rights over the income they generate:

The issues raised include:
Children being filmed in vulnerable moments without consent
No labor protections or income rights in many countries
Kids developing identity issues or facing bullying from viral clips
Discussion points:
Should governments introduce child influencer labor laws (like Coogan laws for child actors)?
Are audiences complicit in supporting this content?
Where is the line between sharing and exploitation?
If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable watching family content online—you're not alone.
