YouTube Description
as posted by the channelUtah just became the latest state to pass a major law claiming to "protect child influencers." The law has been celebrated across the internet. But according to experts, the law won't "protect" child influencers. It is deeply flawed, counterproductive, and dangerously irresponsible. It has major free speech implications and could be used to censor journalistic work and reporting.
It took me weeks of reporting to put together this deep dive and to speak to nearly a dozen actual free speech and legal experts about this law, something not a single mainstream media journalist did.

I hope you'll watch this entire video, because I'm extremely worried about the effect laws like these will have on free speech and civil liberties.
Again, I don't make a dime from these videos so please support me on
