REPORT: Child Monetization

WHAT TO FIX documented widespread violations of Meta’s monetization rules around children.
Accounts designed to attract and entertain under-13 audiences
⁠Accounts featuring children, including babies, toddlers and child-influencers
Accounts seemingly posting child content without authorization, and impersonating children.
Accounts seemingly managed by teenagers.
Enforcement errors appear to be the foreseeable outcome of weaknesses in the design and operation of Meta’s monetization systems and governance.

The rollout of creator monetization products, designed to enable users to generate revenue from their use of social media platforms, can create financial incentives for the commercialization of children’s attention, images, identities and labor, and expose children to harm.
