Abstract
This Note discusses how American legal systems and constitutional provisions may harm or protect a parent’s ability to post their children online. In the modern, digital age, a new career has risen for stay-at-home moms: the mommy vlogger. A mommy vlogger is able to “monetize,” otherwise known as making money, from posting on social media by gaining sponsorships from companies or from the social media platform itself. Mommy vloggers sometimes post their own children in order to cultivate an aesthetic on their pages that other mothers may relate to. This mother’s job may be at risk in the event she divorces her partner because the other parent may have control over whether the mommy vlogger can post their children online. The current American legal system does not protect a mother in this situation, which is problematic if these women’s liberties are to be protected. The most viable option for protecting the mother would be through individual cases in common law divorce proceedings because of their individualized, case-specific remedies.
