A bill aimed at protecting the rights of children who star in sponsored vlogs is moving ahead in the Illinois legislature.
Vloggers Jenny LeFlore, her sons Obie Q. LeFlore, 6, and Jameson LeFlore, 2, record an Instagram reel at an ice cream shop in Hyde Park on April 13, 2023. LeFlore takes issue with proposed state legislation that would set a rate for how much someone under 16 is compensated when they appear in at least 30% of a channel’s vlogs.
Koehler, a Peoria Democrat who is sponsoring the legislation. “It’s perfectly fine if parents want to do this and it’s done in a very wholesome and respectable way. If the children are used simply as a cash cow to enrich them …then I think that begins to strain this.” “The first probably couple of months was just research,” Morgan Schmidt, the history teacher who oversaw Nallamothu’s independent study, said. “And then it started to take shape of ‘OK, I found certain things,’ more specific research, and then by December she was already reaching out to assemblymen in Illinois ... seeking out people to take on this bill.”
The Washington bill would have allowed people who were part of vlogs as children to remove that content when they turned 18. Nallamothu wanted a similar clause in the Illinois bill, but said it “ended up being taken out with the first amendment just due to the feasibility.” “Show me your poses,” says Jennifer Lane while taking photos of her daughter Madeline in Seneca Park on April 8, 2023, in Chicago.“It’s not that tough anymore to be able to timestamp something, but you have to have some kind of way of measuring this if it’s going to be effective at all,” Koehler said.
