Protecting child social media influencers

from 1 big thing · host Axios

Illinois is the first state in the country to pass legislation to protect child social media influencers. The new law ensures children under 16 featured in online videos and platforms are compensated for their work. The big picture: Most social media platforms don't allow children to have an account until they are 13. But, TikTok, YouTube and Instagram are flooded with pages, run by adults, gaining income by using young kids in their content. We take a look at how Illinois' law could change things around the country. Plus, the shortage of ADHD drugs in the U.S. The limits of autocratic economies. And, Ticketmaster's new way to squeeze revenue.
