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?
