#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

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.

I've asked parents to at least ask their children. It's interesting when a 7 or 8yo says no. Maybe they understand better than parents.
