Among the popular channels on TikTok and YouTube, there are cases where parents post videos featuring their children and earn income. But until now, there have been no laws to protect appearing children or child influencers.
Therefore, in Illinois, a law has been passed that ``If a minor appears in 30% or more of the content that is the source of income for the influencer in 30 days, the minor has the right to receive a portion of the revenue.'' it was done.
Earnings given to a minor must be held in a trust fund that becomes accessible once the child turns 18. If the influencer willfully fails to secure the minor's earnings in a trust account, the minor is entitled to a lawsuit.
In addition, influencers must report to the Illinois Department of Labor the names and ages of minors who may appear in their content, the number of monetized videos, and the time minors are featured in their content. I have an obligation.
On the other hand, the bill in Illinois said that various changes were made as the debate progressed, and that 'the right to request the deletion of content when a child reaches the age of 18' was deleted.
'The Internet gives children more opportunities to be creative than ever before,' said Illinois State Press Secretary Alex Goff. They need to be protected from parents who act as encouragers.'
Shreya Naramotu, who was 15 years old when he raised the issue, said, ``Appearing in videos posted by parents is part of the labor for children.Children are entitled to compensation for that labor.'' was doing.
Laws to protect the 'income of children of influencers' are being debated in Washington as well as in Illinois. ``I hope this legislation in Illinois will help spread the movement to other states,'' said Senator David Koehler, who introduced the bill in Illinois.
