Abstract

‘‘Sharenting,, is a term used to describe parents’ actions when they disclose content about their children using social media. Concerns are increasingly being expressed about the impact of sharenting upon children’s privacy, with suggestions being made that children whose information has been shared online should be afforded a right to be forgotten. To date, however, no-one has examined how or whether a child could use the General Data Protection Regulation (‘‘GDPR,,)’s right to erasure (the ‘‘right to be forgotten,,) to remove sharented personal data. Limited academic consideration has been given to whether parents who sharent are data controllers under the GDPR and thus subject to controllers’ obligations under that regulation.
