Utah is moving to protect the children of online content creators following the child abuse conviction of Ruby Franke, who dispensed parenting advice to millions of people online.

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.
