How so? Someone recording you seemed utterly unlike being in a coal mine.

Ah yes, as well all know labor is exclusively equivalent to working in coal mines.

The entire point of child labor laws was to get kids out of dangerous situations like working in coal mines. Being recorded isn’t labor, isn’t dangerous. Isn’t negative at all.

Tell that to Brooke Shields and many other children who were sexualized on camera with the consent of their parents and still have psychological damage.

There have also been parents who literally tortured their children on YouTube for laughs[1].

Until some 7-yr-old's munchausen-by-proxy mom puts him on puberty blockers for social media updoots.

Seems like the other thing is the issue here.

The title was "Illinois set to define using your kids in social media videos as child labor", not "Illinois set to define using your kids in social media videos as coal mining."

In this comment, the goal post has been moved from "child labor" to "working in a coal mine as a child".

Certainly working in a coal mine is worse, but they are both child labor.
