From the recent multibillion-dollar Meta settlement to the rise of kidfluencers and family-run social media empires, Minor Terms will explore the evolving legal landscape surrounding children and social media. We’ll examine social media accountability, children’s privacy, parental consent, intellectual property rights, and the legal protections that have struggled to keep pace with the digital world.

• Chris McCarty — Founder of Quit Clicking Kids, a non-profit supporting children’s privacy online; featured in Netflix’s Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing.
• Laura Marquez-Garrett — Attorney at the Social Media Victims Law Center, where she works to hold social media companies accountable for harms to children and families.
• Amanda Schreyer — Attorney whose practice includes entertainment and media law, content licensing, influencer marketing, and advertising compliance, bringing a transactional perspective to the legal issues surrounding digital content creation.
