This episode is going to ruffle some feathers especially within the online motherhood realm, however it's one that needs to be shared. I understand the initial reaction some will have of defensiveness, however I appreciate you letting that initial feeling simmer and continuing to listen with an open mind.

It's never too late to change your mind! I did a few years back.

I sit down with journalist Fortesa Latifi who is the author of "Like, Follow, Subscribe: Influencer Kids and the Cost of a Childhood Online". She reveals what her interviews with famous mom influencers, their children and nannies have described about what actually goes on behind the cameras.

We examine:

The ramifications of a child's digital footprint through multiple angles and what the future holds
Which current events were going on in 2023 that attributed to the trend of hiding children's faces online
Is it true that AI can unveil a child's face behind an emoji placed over it?
Which type of child content gets the most engagement from family vloggers? It might surprise you.
How is being a minor showcased online different from being a minor on a tv show or in a movie?
How does the law protect children online?
Why do certain demographics tend to fall into the family vlogging world?
