#PSA: posting photos and videos of your kids online ensures they'll never be able to meaningfully opt out of privacy invasion.
80% of children have an online presence by age two, with parents sharing an average of 1,500 images before their fifth birthday. —2017, Northumbria University
By the age of 13, children have had an average of 1,300 photos and videos of themselves posted to social media by their parents. —2018, UK Children's Commissioner
@alice
I just totally don’t understand anyone posting their young kids pictures online. Never did it. Now even with them grown I’d ask them first. Totally different mindset for some people I guess. -

@alice This is why spouse & I have never posted photos of our kid on non-private accounts, and we've kept photos on private accounts to a bare minimum. She's 13 now. When she was around 7 or 8, we explained "online" to her as best we could & started asking permission to post photos of her. Sometimes she said yes, sometimes no. We respected both.
Of course, even private accounts aren't really private. We know that now. But we didn't then. It's been a while since we last put her face online.

@alice I am soooo thankful I grew up just before widespread social media and smartphones.

@alice How does someone take 300 pictures of someone a year?
I don't think I've taken 30 pictures of myself in my entire adulthood...

Pretty sure that older millenials are the last generation to have that sort of privacy.
I even lost that one with some dumbasses taking pictures of a party we attended, and dumped on Facebook. No choice about it. Found after the fact.

@alice Meanwhile me: "Dear relative, if you want to see any photos of my child, you can go to the grandparents house and check the calendar or register an account on Ente where I can share the photos end-to-end encrypted."

There are several recorded and verified cases of normal photos being incorrectly flagged as CSAM resulting in arrest and prosecution, only for the case to be dropped when this comes to light.
At which point the lives of these people are ruined, as no one will ever believe them even if the authorities themselves clear their name
So no ever post bathing/swimming etc. type photos. Don't even take the photo as there are proposals to do on device scans

@alice
When I used to be on Facebook, I knew that when a friend announced they were pregnant I would never see a photo of them again.Once the baby was born, it was customary to change their profile photo to the baby and then proceed to post only pix of the baby.
This happened time and again. My friends disappeared and their babies took their place.
I "unfriended" a few people due to this. I connected with *them*, not their baby.
It's really sad to see people erase themselves.

@shansterable @alice That is what they are told to do, culturally. This is the desired result for conservatives: women only exist to make babies.

Poor kid wasn't even hatched yet!

@alice We saw the potential danger early on, and didn't put any photos or videos of our child online, as a very deliberate choice. As he (he's starting his Trans journey, but so far still uses male pronouns) grew, we talked about the potential danger, the elimination of choice putting yourself out there too much entails. Now in high school, he gets school assignments like, "talk about your favourite photo of you online", and he's just, "no. it's not there, for good reason, and you shouldn't be encouraging it". He's a very smart young person.

@alice What a nightmare. I'm so happy to have been before that. Never had, and never will have, an image of me online. Parental behaviour like that is unconscionable.

@rallias there's a lot of time spent with a kid who hardly moves but screams when left alone, so photos come at a higher than usual rate...

@alice what if no names are ever attached to them? (easy if, say, not on Facebook...)

According to Roman law, which the UK still uses, they kinda are.

@crankylinuxuser yeah, I ask people to not to photograph my face, and to not post photos of me without my okaying them first.
A lot of both older and younger folx seem oblivious to the massive privacy violation.

at one point, i came upon my ex's 16 yr old son filling out a web form with email, cell phone, and address. it was for an in-n-out coupon.
when i pointed out that they would bombard him with ads, sell his info to other folks who would do the same, his response was depressing but pretty accurate.
"every moment of my life since birth has been on facebook, the internet, etc. they a'ready have my name, email, and current cell phone. i can't prevent it, i can't get this back. but at least this way, i get a free burger."
this was 15 years ago. hopefully parents are thinking a bit more about sharing everything about their kids on the internet. it doesn't have to be this way.

@paul_ipv6 that's really depressing.
