Gavin Newsom unterzeichnet Gesetzesentwürfe zum Schutz der Entschädigung für Kinder-Influencer

> Former child star Demi Lovato joined the California governor on Thursday as he greenlit legislation that expands the Coogan Law and requires certain influencers to set aside trusts for minor performers.

> One of those bills, California Assembly Bill 1880, expands California’s longtime Coogan Law protections for child performers to influencers and online content creators who are minors. The Coogan Law, which was signed into law in the state in 1939 and was named after child silent-film star Jackie Coogan, mandates that 15 percent of a child performer’s earnings be saved in a protected trust that they can access when they reach adulthood.

> The other legislation that was greenlit on Thursday, Senate Bill 764, states that online influencers featuring children in at least 30 percent of their output must put away a percentage of gross earnings in a trust for the minor to access when they become an adult. The bill also requires creators to maintain records of income generated from content featuring children and how many minutes minors appeared in that content, among other information.

Ew. Child influencers should not be a thing. It’s fucking creepy and exploitative
