The internet has suspicions about family vloggers fleeing California. Here’s why

A recent online theory suggests California's new child influencer protection laws are driving family vloggers to leave the state. These laws mandate that a portion of a child's earnings from online content be placed in a trust account. California is the third state to enact such legislation, following Illinois and Minnesota. Several prominent family vloggers, including the LaBrant family and Brittany Xavier, have recently relocated, primarily to Tennessee. While these influencers deny the laws influenced their moves, citing reasons like mold issues and political preferences, skepticism remains online. Xavier addressed the speculation, attributing her move to mold but also acknowledging California's current leadership issues. The theory persists despite denials, fueled by the timing of the relocations and the perceived suspicious nature of the influencers' explanations. The speculation highlights concerns about financial transparency and the well-being of children in the influencer industry. The debate continues, with online communities actively discussing the motivations behind these family relocations.
