The Child Digital Protection Act aims to establish legal protections for minor children featured in family video content created by social media influencers. The bill recognizes that these children often generate significant revenue for their parents without receiving any financial compensation or legal protections. To address this, the Act mandates that content creators who meet certain profit thresholds must set aside a percentage of their earnings in a trust for the benefit of the minor child. The percentage varies based on the amount of time the child appears in the content, with specific contributions outlined for different levels of involvement.

Additionally, the Act grants minors the right to request the removal of content featuring their likeness once they reach the age of majority. It also establishes a private right of action for individuals harmed by violations of the Act, allowing them to seek damages and injunctive relief. Content creators are required to maintain records related to the minor's participation and compensation, which must be provided to the minor upon request. The bill includes provisions for the retention of these records until the minor reaches adulthood, ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of children's likenesses in digital content.
