PBS News Hour

'Momfluencers' urged to stop showing kids on social media

Season 2024 Episode 45 | 10m 06s

On social media platforms, so-called "momfluencers" share parenting tips, tribulations and candid moments raising their children. Given its focus on kids, it raises questions about privacy, consent and who benefits financially. Some states are responding with new laws. Stephanie Sy discussed the trend with Fortesa Latifi of Teen Vogue.
