French National Assembly adopts bill to protect children's image rights on social networks. Bill is a response to the excesses of certain parents exposing their children without restraint.
It aims more broadly to “empower” parents in the face of the risk of malicious use of shared images. Law introduces the notion of the child's “private life” into the definition of parental authority in the Civil Code. It specifies that the minor's right to image is protected “jointly” by both parents.
