This is why spouse & I have never posted photos of our kid on non-private accounts, and we've kept photos on private accounts to a bare minimum. She's 13 now. When she was around 7 or 8, we explained "online" to her as best we could & started asking permission to post photos of her. Sometimes she said yes, sometimes no. We respected both.

Of course, even private accounts aren't really private. We know that now. But we didn't then. It's been a while since we last put her face online.

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...

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.

There are several recorded and verified cases of normal photos being incorrectly flagged as CSAM resulting in arrest and prosecution, only for the case to be dropped when this comes to light.

At which point the lives of these people are ruined, as no one will ever believe them even if the authorities themselves clear their name

So no ever post bathing/swimming etc. type photos. Don't even take the photo as there are proposals to do on device scans

When I used to be on Facebook, I knew that when a friend announced they were pregnant I would never see a photo of them again.

Once the baby was born, it was customary to change their profile photo to the baby and then proceed to post only pix of the baby.

This happened time and again. My friends disappeared and their babies took their place.

I "unfriended" a few people due to this. I connected with *them*, not their baby.

It's really sad to see people erase themselves.

Sensitive content Reveal/hide

I'm always concerned, even when I share photos of my cats. Luck is that my black one never comes good, too dark for details in amatorial pics. The red one is so similar to any other orange short haired blonde striped. The red's sister is too elusive to have many pictures.

Put that aside: all this space, all this freedom in communication, and no privacy. No ethics is giving us respect. Someone finds the way to sell us and our dearest, like football stickers.
There's a criminal intent.

at one point, i came upon my ex's 16 yr old son filling out a web form with email, cell phone, and address. it was for an in-n-out coupon.

when i pointed out that they would bombard him with ads, sell his info to other folks who would do the same, his response was depressing but pretty accurate.

"every moment of my life since birth has been on facebook, the internet, etc. they a'ready have my name, email, and current cell phone. i can't prevent it, i can't get this back. but at least this way, i get a free burger."

this was 15 years ago. hopefully parents are thinking a bit more about sharing everything about their kids on the internet. it doesn't have to be this way.

There was a case recently of a teen girl successfully suing her own mother in Argentina, for sharing photos of the girl in various social networks *and* dating apps, including Tinder and Happen(?)

The judge ordered removal of any offending pictures from everywhere, and a restraining order to the mother to stop her from posting more pictures.

Here's an article in Diario Uno (in Spanish):
