#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 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...
@acm_redfox @rallias And babies change *very* fast, so there are frequently new things to show family members or close friends who are interested - milestones like new teeth, new mobility (rolling! crawling! walking! climbing!), hair or eye color changes, and development of new skills (talking! opening things!).
When my child was tiny, it felt like I every time I left for a lab meeting I would come back to something new.
