Utah adds protections for child influencers following YouTuber Ruby Franke's child abuse conviction

The article from KSAT discusses a new law in Utah aimed at protecting child influencers, spurred by the child abuse conviction of Ruby Franke, a former YouTube vlogger. Franke was sentenced to up to 60 years in prison for abusing her children, which was documented in her family's YouTube videos. The new legislation requires that a portion of the earnings from content featuring children be placed into a trust for the child until they reach adulthood. This law seeks to ensure that children who contribute to the family's income through social media are financially compensated and protected, reflecting a broader movement to safeguard young influencers from exploitation. The bill was signed into law by Governor Spencer Cox, highlighting a significant step towards addressing the welfare of children in the digital content creation space.
