    Do not post pictures of humans online who cannot consent to you doing so.

    I’m so happy my parents never got into social media before my adulthood. There was some overlap there where they could have plastered images of me all over their facebook feeds without my understanding what that meant.

    It’s fucking revolting to me to see how normal some people seem to think it is for a parent to do that. IMO it should be straight up illegal and a violation of a child’s right to privacy.

      My wife and I are being very careful about this with our son. I only ever post a monthly growth update and have made sure that the extended family isn’t posting anything without permission.

        Sharing your life, and thereby sometimes the lifes of your children, with friends and family, only makes sense.

        My concern is with parents who make no distinction between that, and posting something fully publicly. The latter means the post can go viral, or get screenshotted by a stranger and reposted as a meme somewhere with a huge audience. Or get dug up by anyone, even years later.

            100%

            Having your entire infancy and childhood just out there is going to be hell for some kids. Probably already is. Imagine your parents uploading a video of you doing something dumb, but cute, something they and family find adorable. The same video which a couple years later is the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you when it goes through a viral wave of spreading throughout your local school.

      Completely agree. They regularly ask us at daycare if we consent to our child being in such and such photos that are gonna get posted who knows where and used for who knows what. I’m sure a lot of parents agree without a second thought.

        That’s not really the point, you’re flipping the way you should be looking at this. The problem is not a recognizable picture, but that its a picture of a person that may not want it out there.

        It doesn’t matter much whether someone can tell if a picture is of me, if they can find it by simply looking for pictures of me.
