My concern for the online space and the growing presence of child influencers was piqued when I noticed the kind of content being published by young stars like Piper Rockelle on sites like Brand Army. Such platforms are eerily akin to sites like OnlyFans, promising "exclusive content" to lure viewers in. The alarming catch is, these are children, potentially being exploited by their own parents or guardians for profit.

Despite the site rules stating there should be no nudity, the pictures of these minors can often be deemed subjective and extremely suspicious. These websites claim to restrict viewership to individuals over 18, yet fall short in enforcing strong authentication measures to verify user ages.

In the United States alone, internet usage among children has skyrocketed by 200% in the past decade. Notably, 95% of teens are currently connected to the internet (source: Pew Research Center). While the internet has many positive aspects, it also puts our children at increased risk. Ensuring that websites and platforms enforce Strong age verification for all users will be a significant step in protecting our children from exploitation.

Let's make the internet a safer place for our children. My
goal is to eradicate the dark side of child influencing by enforcing age verification on children majority websites. It begins with holding sites like Brand Army accountable for their lax verification measures. Please join us in advocating for the safety of our children.
