    I've always found it super creepy how some parents use their children for internet fame. I wouldn't even post photos of my adult daughter without her consent. Facebook is especially bad because now that's how grandma communicates, so sometimes it's other relatives too. We need to have broad internet laws protecting children. No child signs up to be an influencer. They definitely need to be protected from being exploited. They certainly should have the right to have all of that content removed at any age.

      At minimum, they need the rights that child actors have. If parents are earning based on child social media presence, that should not be the parent's income.
