SHARENTING E EXPLORAÇÃO DO TRABALHO INFANTIL

ABSTRACT The act of parents sharing information and images of their children on the internet, a practice known as sharenting, has become increasingly common but also raises a series of controversies. This trend involves the constant exposure of children’s private lives on social media, sparking debates on privacy, security, and children’s autonomy over their own image. Thus, the present research aims to analyze the impact of sharenting on children’s exposure to child labor exploitation. The study seeks to demonstrate how digital overexposure can open doors to the economic and psychological exploitation of these children, who are often involved in activities that go beyond mere entertainment and start to constitute labor. Accordingly, the study will investigate the potential legal and social implications of this practice, based on a qualitative literature review focused on analyses of current legislation, case studies, and reviews of academic literature. The expected outcomes include identifying the risks associated with the practice of sharenting, along with proposals for regulation and greater awareness of children’s rights in the digital environment.
