Journalist and author Fortesa Latifi joins The Mom Room for a conversation about kids growing up online and the complex world of family influencing. Fortesa shares what led her to write her new book "Like, Follow, Subscribe", diving into the realities behind family vlogging, the pressure it can place on children, and the blurred lines between home life and work. They unpack everything from digital footprints and online safety to the opportunities social media can create, along with the lack of regulation compared to child actors and the rise of 'snark' communities.
