What's the best approach to the issue of child influencers (or "kidfluencers") being used and abused by their parents on social media?

Recently, we've seen loads of dirt come out about family vloggers, such as the 8 Passengers/Ruby Franke scandal. Not to mention parents using their kids for monetized content over Instagram and TikTok. These kids are almost never compensated for their work (because, let's face it, what they're doing for social media counts as child labour) and their parents are making all the money from the content these kids are featured in.

Not to mention, in the case of Gekyume Onfroy (vid related), this kid's grief over the loss of his famous SoundCloud rapper father is being blatantly exploited for views. This kid has been treated as a product his entire life and his sadness is now being turned into a public spectacle. Part of me says the people doing this deserve punishment.

There have also been several laws against using kids for social media in California and most recently in Utah. Does anyone know enough details to give a materialist/Marxist analysis of these laws?

You already made a thread about this.
You used the same fucking kid aswell.
Social Media Addiction. Please stay in your containment thread.

I couldn't care less about what wealthy families do.

>>2234706
Family vlogging needs to be abolished entirely.

>>2234710
Kid probably has autism if he gets overstimulated that easily.

>>2234706
>”I want to be a YouTuber!”
What the hell is a six-year old going to talk about on YouTube, anyway?

>>2234746
>TOTAL NEPO BABY DEATH
Unironcally. Am I supposed to feel pity for someone who is going to end up inheriting a lot of property and reserves?

>>2234772
>autism is caused by overstimulation

>>2234789
Better that his mom exploits him to the point where he offs himself before he turns 18 and all his trust fund money gets redistributed via taxes.

>>2234791
The polar opposite you mong. Autistic kids get overstimulated easily. A lot of them can’t be in loud, chaotic environments or else they have violent meltdowns. You can clearly tell from the video Gekyume is having a meltdown.

>>2234706
>and his sadness is now being turned into a public spectacle.
Now that’s just fucked.

>>2234785
Ergo

Simple as follow what the chinese do, they are ahead normally on those matters

I am certain there are already existing regulations in the US for child actors. These could be used with little to no modification. (Perhaps this already is the law, with people managing the kids not knowing/caring about it.)

>>2234806
China has extremely strict rules when it comes to kids’ usage of social media IIRC.

>>2234836
fuck no dude they should be way stricter, child actors get exceptions that allow them to get much less schooling. a ton of parents would exploit this opportunity to be even shittier than usual homeschooling.

>>2234796
I think it's pretty normal for a kid to have a meltdown in this situation though

>>2234710
This legitimately makes me angry.

>>2234806
>Ergo
>>I want to play videogames -minecraft/fortnite- and ger paid
See, this has become a huge problem with our culture today. Younger people who don't know any better unironically see YouTube or Twitch streaming as a career.

>>2235241
>kids want to become petit-bourgeis parasites
Is this really much different from the past?

>>2234785
I couldn't imagine doing a podcast with a child who hasn't even entered first grade yet, especially if that kid wasn't a relative. What's also alarming is how many of these child influencers have their personal information leaked very quickly. I'm sure someone has already figured out Gekyume's home address at this point and could show up at his place at any time.

Imagine what he's going to think when he's older.

>>2234710
who the fuck cares about Tentacion in 2025?

>>2235329
Ahhh a video calling for more censorship on a monopolized platform.

Let's be real, it's child abuse

>>2234706

ultimately social media as it current exists only hurts people and incentivises people to act in anti social ways towards each other.

the world would a million times better with these companies and all the people that work for them buried 6 feet under.

>>2239592
Literally nobody except some obsessive autist who regularly comes to make these threads.
