Bill Summary
An act to add Chapter 22.1.3 (commencing with Section 22583) to Division 8 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to privacy.
AI Summary
This bill requires social media platforms to provide a way for individuals who were "child influencers" (meaning they were featured as a minor in paid content on a social media platform) to request that their parent, legal guardian, or family member, who received compensation for sharing that content, edit or delete it once the child influencer turns 18. The bill defines "paid content" as image or video content shared by a "vlogger" (a parent, guardian, or family member who received compensation for sharing content featuring a child influencer as a minor) for which compensation was received. Social media platforms must notify the vlogger of the request within three business days, and the vlogger then has ten business days to remove or edit the content so the now-adult influencer is no longer featured. If a vlogger fails to comply, the child influencer can sue them for damages, including statutory damages of $3,000 per day of violation, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees, with courts considering factors like emotional harm and safety risks.
