Abstract

This article aims to address an issue that affects children all over the world: the excessive exposure of children and adolescents in the digital environment, with a focus on child digital influencers. This thesis is of fundamental importance because young people, especially content creators, have become a real fever in recent years and are increasingly exposed to dangers related to child labor, thus deserving attention due to the potential risks that can affect children's well-being and healthy development. Digital influencers are individuals who create content on social networks to attract and engage a specific audience, and child influencers direct their activities towards other children, addressing topics such as dance, games, fashion and even their lifestyle. The general aim of this research is to analyze the activities of children and adolescents on the internet, which is increasingly common nowadays. However, this situation involves risks and challenges and, for this reason, its specific objective is to bring the consequences of this exposure from the perspective of child labor, in addition to exposing child artistic work. The theme is supported by the fundamental role of parents, guardians and society in general in preventing these risks involving children and adolescents and the internet. Furthermore, the lack of regulation is a gap to be addressed in the text to guarantee the safety and rights of children involved in this type of activity.
