#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 it sucks having the instinct to share pictures with family over SMS, especially for something big like a birth announcement, but not trusting grandparents not to instantly blast those pictures all over facebook

@alice @cyberwitch Something tells me shit like this is one reason why people have been picking analog stuff back up, eg. like the Instax platform that to my knowledge is doing pretty damn well for itself, or even picking up old digital still cams, on top of actually being able to own their stuff, especially with Instax giving you a physical copy of your pics.
