ELI5: Why is acting not considered child labor?

Given the fact that childhood stardom often has large negative effects on the kids - whether from exploitation from the parents, other adults, or society at large - why is acting not considered child labor?

It is.  Child labor is not illegal.  Child labor is *heavily regulated*.  Child actors have very strict limits to how frequently they can work, and for how long, based on their age.  It is also required that their acting not interfere with their education.
