#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 Well, look at the good[1] news: if kids won't be allowed on the Internet before they're 18, they won't be able to find out that their privacy got abused before they were 13 until the five-year statute of expiration will have run out.

[1] For the not-good values of 'good'. Got to commemorate the late great literal meaning of 'literally', after all.
