progenitores. En los casos en que no puedan consentir, la responsabilidad parental debe ejercerse conforme al interés superior del hijo o hija, evitando exposiciones indebidas.

El trabajo defiende el reconocimiento de la identidad digital como ma-nifestación autónoma de la personalidad y propone un régimen específico de responsabilidad por daño digital. Sugiere crear un procedimiento admi-nistrativo ante la autoridad de protección de la infancia que permita a NNA solicitar la retirada de contenidos lesivos, articulando así un equilibrio real entre autonomía progresiva y protección efectiva.

Abstract:

The article offers a critical review of the legal treatment of the digital identity of children and adolescents in light of the growing phenomenon of sharenting. From a civil law perspective and through a comparative analysis of the spanish and italian legal systems, within the broader framework of european law, it emphasizes that children and adolescents are full holders of personality rights, including in the digital environment.

It highlights that, when children and adolescents possess sufficient ma-turity—and in any case from the age of 14 under european law—they have the capacity to consent to the dissemination of their image. Consequently, any publication without their authorization may give rise to civil liability, even on the part of their parents. In cases where children and adolescents are not in a position to provide valid consent, parental authority must be exercised in accordance with the best interests of the child, avoiding any undue exposure.
