AI Summary

  • Minors under 16 featured in family vlogs must be compensated when they appear in at least 30% of compensated video content within a 30-day period and the content generates revenue at $0.10 or more per view or meets platform compensation thresholds.

  • Vloggers must deposit a portion of gross earnings into a trust account for the minor, with the percentage equal to at least half of the content percentage featuring the minor; funds become available when the minor turns 18 or is emancipated.

  • When multiple minors meet the content threshold in a video segment, the required trust deposit must be divided equally among them regardless of individual screen time differences.

  • Vloggers must maintain and provide ongoing records to the minor including documentary proof of age, number of compensated vlogs, minutes featured, total compensation generated, and trust account deposits.

  • Minors engaged in vlog work under these circumstances are exempt from standard child labor working hour restrictions, but may bring civil action for recordkeeping failures or trust account violations, with potential awards of actual damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees.
