There is a big difference I think in sharing your photographs within a restricted group and broadcasting them without restriction. Like becoming your own reality TV channel to which the children are too young to consent to. There is no way to justify this under parent coping mechanism.

This discussion about the subject goes nowhere near the heart of the problem. The issue with pictures of kids on social media, sometimes partially undressed, is not that they are boring (even though they can be and Anna May is right saying that people only like them because they feel obliged)!! It is just that you do not know who can gain access to them and it can end up on the dark web without the parents even knowing. Other personal information is often displayed such as the school kids go to when they appear in uniforms and their dates of birth when there are birthday pictures. Many parents I know do not seem aware of how risky it is and some do not even restrict access to "friends only". That aspect is barely mentioned on that video
