Children as young as three appear in content ranging from toy reviews to luxury brand promotions, often managed by parents who blur the line between play and labor.
UNICEF Malaysia Deputy Representative Sanja Saranovic said on Friday that commercialized internet content exposes minors to economic exploitation when they cannot meaningfully consent to monetizing their image. The practice creates permanent digital...

The company reportedly shifted from concrete hardware development plans to uncertainty about production scheduled to begin in 2026 for a 2027 launch.
