In August, Illinois passed a law, the first of its kind in the United States, requiring adults who use "the likeness, name or photograph" of a minor in paid online content to set aside a portion of the earnings in a trust.
今年8月,伊利诺伊州通过了一项法律,这是美国首部此类法律,要求在付费在线内容中使用了未成年人"肖像、姓名或照片"的成年人,必须将收入的一部分放在信托基金中。
David Koehler, a state senator who introduced the bill, was inspired after receiving a letter from Shreya Nallamothu, a local high school student, urging him to consider establishing legal protections for child influencers.
提出这项法案的州参议员大卫·克勒在收到当地高中生什雷亚·纳拉莫苏的一封信后受到了启发,信中纳拉莫苏敦促他考虑为儿童网红建立法律保护。
How much parents should set aside is based on how much the child appears in the content. For example, if the child is in 100 percent of an influencer's videos, at least half of the earnings must be set aside.
父母应该在信托基金中放多少钱,取决于儿童在网络内容中出现了多少。例如,如果儿童在网红视频中出现的比例为100%,那么必须留出至少一半的收入。
The law, which will go into effect in July 2024, does not require parents to report information about their child's earnings to the state, but it does give child influencers the right to pursue legal action.
这项将于2024年7月生效的法律并不要求父母向州政府报告儿童的收入信息,但它赋予了儿童网红提起法律诉讼的权利。

The current version of the bill, introduced in January, requires parents to set aside 15 percent of their revenue; it also includes a provision that an Internet platform would have to take "all reasonable steps" to delete a video at the request of a child star who has come of age if the platform paid the parents for that content.
该法案的当前版本于今年1月推出,要求父母拿出收入的15%;其中还包括一项条款:如果互联网平台为某一视频内容向父母付费,则平台必须应已成年儿童网红的要求,采取"一切合理措施"将该视频删除。
In February, Cam Barrett, a TikTok influencer who appeared in her mother's Facebook posts regularly as a child, testified in support of the Washington bill.
今年2月,TikTok网红卡姆·巴雷特作证支持华盛顿的这项法案。巴雷特小时候经常出现在母亲的脸书帖子里。
"I'm terrified to share my name because a digital footprint I had no control over exists," Ms. Barrett said. She recalled her mother sharing intimate details of her first period, of a car accident she was in, and of a serious illness she once had.
