Summary

Illinois recently became the first state in the U.S. to ensure that underage social media influencers are properly compensated for their work. The new child labor law creates a right for individuals age 18 or older to sue their parents for lost earnings if they were featured in monetized content. Jessica Maddox, professor in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media at the University of Alabama where she studies social media and its societal impact, joins Preet to discuss the law and its implications.
