According to John, many people, who were innovators and users of the early web, become parents. He said he is interested to know what the risks and rewards are of having children while broadcasting online. So he decided to speak about “Casting Crib Cutesploitation – Using Your Kids as Content.” This is because he wonders whether or not people are on the edge of a huge crisis of privacy. He used the exampt of “David after dentist”, saying videos are simply fun, but have influence on the violation of a person’s future or privacy.
