Tiny Screens, Big Risks: Protecting Toddlers and Infants on Social Media

As social media becomes increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, how can we protect the most vulnerable among us—toddlers and infants—from the risks of online exposure? From privacy concerns to the long-term impact of digital footprints, the challenges are growing, raising critical questions about responsibility and regulation. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Francis Rees, leader of the Child Influencers Projects to explore the legal and ethical implications of sharing children’s lives on social media. We delve into the latest legal frameworks, parental responsibilities, and the role of platforms in safeguarding young users. Join us, Alisha Ishaq, and Lou Icard, as we discuss how the law can adapt to protect the youngest members of our digital society.
