LEGAL BEAT
The law will go into effect in January 2027.
In California, vloggers’ kids can soon force their parents to remove footage of them
The law: A new California law will protect the children of family vloggers once they turn 18. Senate Bill No. 1247 gives adults whose parents, legal guardians, or family members used them in social media content while they were minors the right to demand removal of said content.
Once served a notice of removal, parents/guardians/etc. have 10 days to take down violative content or edit it to remove the requester’s appearances. If those 10 days pass and the content is still up, vloggers will face penalties of $3,000 per day moving forward, plus further potential damages, injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees.
The details: S.B. 1247 has a few requirements that make it specifically applicable to professional family vloggers.
For one, the bill will only affect vloggers who have made money off the content involving their kid, whether by earning ad revenue, taking brand deals, selling merch, or accepting tips through things like Super Chat.
Second, occasional appearances in a parent’s content—even if they did make money off it—don’t count. A minor must have appeared in at least 30% of the vlogger’s content to qualify for a removal request.
Third, this law explicitly applies to a minor’s own parents, legal guardians, or family members.
Once S.B. 1247 takes effect in January 2027, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and all other sites “shall provide a clear and conspicuous mechanism by which a child influencer can request a vlogger” remove content featuring them, according to the bill’s text.
If a platform doesn’t have a built-in mechanism, it will be responsible for receiving removal requests, and is required to forward those requests to vloggers within three days of receipt.
Vloggers who receive removal requests and comply within 10 days will not face any consequences.

TALKING POLITICS
Jubilee has made a name for itself with political coverage.
Jubilee Media is capping off its most active election year with a live midterm special
The special: On November 3, Jubilee Media will host its first-ever election special as it tracks results in several key races across the country.
The Gen Z-focused media company has made a name for itself on platforms like YouTube and Instagram by posting political coverage that walks the center of the aisle. Earlier this year, it doubled down on that approach by launching The Split, a semi-regular news program designed as an antidote to siloed feeds on social media. With both liberal and conservative viewpoints, The Split is a Gen Z answer to the bygone CNN program Crossfire.
Now, the bipartisan hosts of The Split will anchor Jubilee’s election coverage. David Mauricio and Austin Julio Broughton will go live on YouTube with “surprise guests” waiting in the wings, according to a Jubilee press release.
The context: For Jubilee, the November 3 stream will be the culmination of a busy election season. Three weeks before Election Day, the media company teamed up with CNN and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico for an innovative town hall event.
In Texas, creators Destiny, Mr. Mouton, and I’mReallyImportant have joined forces with Digital Ground Game to mobilize Gen Z volunteers and get out the vote. The resulting level of engagement has given Talarico a solid chance of defeating Republican opponent Ken Paxton—and Jubilee has put itself at the heart of that political action.
Similar forms of digital outreach have been everywhere in 2026. The 2024 cycle may go down in history as the “influencer election,” but two years later, creators have taken their organizational efforts to the next level.
THE BIZ
7-Eleven is going full microdrama to promote its latest munchies lineup.
7-Eleven made a micro-K-drama to promote its new noms
The drama: 7-Eleven is debuting its very own microdrama. Starting today, 60-second episodes of A Convenient Love will pop up on the brand’s TikTok and Instagram channels to promote its new “Flavors of Korea” menu.
The mini K-drama follows two classmates whose destinies intertwine during late-night runs to the local 7-Eleven. A short trailer features the two main characters alongside a 7-Eleven employee/classic Korean uncle, who holds what is arguably the centerpiece of the new menu—a KBBQ pizza created in partnership with Korean frozen food brand bibigo.
“K-dramas run on heightened moments. And some of the most memorable ones happen over something as simple as a late-night meal at a convenience store. That’s what made 7-Eleven’s new Korean-inspired menu a natural fit.”
The menu: Pizza aside, the Flavors of Korea collection includes a gochujang remix on 7-Eleven’s iconic egg salad sando, gochujang boneless wings, bibigo spicy chicken dumplings, a KBBQ taquito, a KBBQ hot dog, and somyeon with kimchi.
7-Eleven will drop episodes of A Convenient Love throughout November, and each installment will “feature a limited-time discount on a spotlighted menu item,” according to a press release.
