#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

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 @crankylinuxuser I remember my grandmother (depression era gen) taking pictures of her sister in her casket when she passed away. No one batted an eye. I thought it was super creepy but I guess that was a thing that was acceptable to their generation.
