Honestly that shit should be banned. It's the same fucking story over and over again - exploitative parents and a trail of slavering pedos

This is like that magpie story, the kids and animal can't consent.

I watched this on ABC and it just felt grotesque from start to finish.

I especially enjoyed the Ava(?) kid who's mum is going on about how it's totally cool, her kid loves it, it doesn't affect her negatively... but also she cant go out in public by herself as they're worried one of her "fans" might do something to her.

Well, ok then.

Meta estimates about 100,000 children using Facebook and Instagram receive online sexual harassment each day, including "pictures of adult genitalia", according to a US court case.

While Nina knows she can't stop people stealing Jerome's images, she is careful not to post topless photos of him to prevent them being misused.

Narcissistic parents corrupting children.

One of my friends (not a close friend) is a moderately successful ‘mumfluencer’ and the whole thing is just gross. I cringe every time I see one of her videos pop up in my feed.
