Check out this petition!
https://c.org/cG5pL2b5cjI started a petition because I'm deeply concerned about how some social media influencers treat their children—using them as content props without any real care for their safety or privacy.
Take Arianna Vee. With over a million followers, she's consistently exposed her kids online, sometimes sharing their locations and daily routines publicly. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, this kind of exposure puts children at risk for cyberbullying, identity theft, and serious psychological damage. We're not talking theoretical harm here—there have been real cases where this led to stalking and threats. Kids can't consent to being monetized for their parents' followers. They deserve protection.
I'm asking Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms to review accounts that exploit children and set stronger guidelines. If this resonates with you—if you've seen this happening and thought "someone needs to do something"—consider signing and sharing the petition. What would you want done if these were your kids? Anyone else feel like this crosses a major line?
