A wave of new legislation — from California’s SB764 and AB1880 to emerging policies in Utah, Illinois, and New York — is redefining what it means to create content featuring kids. This session unpacks the fast-evolving legal frameworks now governing the family influencer space, focusing on compensation, privacy, and platform responsibility. We’ll explore how these policies build on COPPA, what might be coming next, and how broader cultural shifts — like school-based device restrictions, concerns about algorithmic exposure, and the rise of mindful media consumption — are converging to reshape how kids engage with and appear in online content.
