#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 @alice zillenial here, I still have it

I'm also trans ofc, so my parents have next to no photos of me after I turned 11 or so (and to this day - while I'm ok with photos now, we also live in different countries so they don't really have opportunities to take any), but even before that - my old photos exist only in print albums in our old flat, not anywhere online

ofc now I post photos of myself, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any photos of me online that weren't posted by either myself or my gf with permission
