California SB1247 protects child influencers by allowing them to request removal or editing of content that misrepresents their age.

California SB1247 adds provisions to the Family Code to safeguard child influencers. It mandates that social media platforms provide a mechanism for child influencers to request the deletion or editing of paid content that depicts them as minors. If the platform does not allow direct requests, it must notify the vlogger within three business days. Vloggers must respond by deleting or editing the content within 10 business days. Child influencers can also sue vloggers for violations, seeking actual damages, statutory damages, injunctive relief, and legal fees.
