    Do not post pictures of humans online who cannot consent to you doing so.

    I’m so happy my parents never got into social media before my adulthood. There was some overlap there where they could have plastered images of me all over their facebook feeds without my understanding what that meant.

    It’s fucking revolting to me to see how normal some people seem to think it is for a parent to do that. IMO it should be straight up illegal and a violation of a child’s right to privacy.

      Completely agree. They regularly ask us at daycare if we consent to our child being in such and such photos that are gonna get posted who knows where and used for who knows what. I’m sure a lot of parents agree without a second thought.

        That’s not really the point, you’re flipping the way you should be looking at this. The problem is not a recognizable picture, but that its a picture of a person that may not want it out there.

        It doesn’t matter much whether someone can tell if a picture is of me, if they can find it by simply looking for pictures of me.
