#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 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.

@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...
@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.

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.
@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.

@alice one of my friends sent me her oldest child's first dick pick.
Poor kid wasn't even hatched yet!
@autolycos eww.

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.

@paul_ipv6 that's really depressing.
@alice It is.
Still, it's worth remembering that data really does age. Fresh data is way more valuable to data brokers than old data, even if they still have that old data. So the more we stop continuously feeding them *more* data anew, the better our situation gets over time.
