"Sharenthood: How the Digital Tech Habits of Parents, Teachers, and Other Trusted Adults Harm Kids & Teens", Leah Plunkett (UNH)

In this Cyber Alliance talk, Prof. Plunkett will discuss the questions raised by Sharenthood. The book, written for a general audience, unpacks the everyday, innocent mistakes adults make with kids’ private data, the risks that result, and the legal myths that enable this so-called “sharenting.” Through an accessible “law & ordinary” approach, it guides readers through an understanding of how the legal system today enables sharenting. The book concludes with a “thought compass” of four principles to help us chart a different course: play, forget, connect, and respect.
