Tessa Latifi's book investigates the phenomenon of children raised as social media influencers and the implications for their wellbeing, privacy, and development. Drawing on interviews with former child influencers and industry insiders, the book explores ethical concerns, commercial incentives, and regulatory gaps in the creator economy. Latifi contextualizes the rise of family vlogging within broader shifts in advertising and digital platforms that monetize personal life and data. She highlights how children's roles in content creation can have long-term psychological and social consequences, and questions who benefits from this industry. The book serves as both journalism and a call to reconsider norms around children, consent, and commercialization online.
