#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. β€”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. β€”2018, UK Children's Commissioner

@alice

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
