Dos and Don'ts of Sharing Photos of Your Children on Instagram and Facebook | WSJ

Unconsenting subjects, child predators and data collection should make any parent pause before posting photos to social media. WSJ's Joanna Stern created an animated children's book to explain. Photo: Dennis Fries for The Wall Street Journal.

I still don't get why parents post their children on social media obsessively. That always seems wrong to me.

'A predator, hacker or a tech company" - tech companies really do deserve this comparison.

I hate parents who upload photos of their kids. It’s not just unsafe and embarrassing, it’s also just annoying.

Hi Joanna, I shared this video on a mommies community group. So many of them were facing this problem of relatives sharing her baby's pictures on social media..this video is very helpful.thanks for putting it out and very well made too.

The bath one was so true. When my brother was younger, my mom posted pictures of him taking a bath and showed it to me. I said "Mom, but he's naked! :(", but my mom said "You only see his head." She was right, but hackers could possibly uncover that photo, and my brother wasn't even wearing a bathing suit underneath. I am so embarrassed.

Demonetize every single video that involves minor, not only this will remove the incentive for channel like this to exist, it'll also reduce the tik tok, meme, kids in the process of becoming internet thot videos flood.

The two key players in content involving minors are
1. Kids who thinks they're going to be the next big YouTuber, without any basic knowledge about Internet privacy and security, Tik Tok, Meme...etc What goes on the internet, stays on the internet, forever.
2. Parents who monetize their children through making "family friendly" videos, essentially child labor, kids should be doing kids stuff

Yes, innocent family friendly content with no ill intention, involving minor does exist, but they're on the minority. Truth be told, it's sickening when parents think it's okay to share videos of their children to the world, when they're at their most innocent and defenseless stage, also knowingly that predator does exist on the internet.

That's why right to be forgotten should be implemented every where.

Thank you for this video, very useful.

Any parent who openly broadcasts their childs life for all to see on the web (if the child is under 16), should be investigated for child grooming.. this is about them not the child.... You dont know who is watching or stalking that child... and may lead to bullying and humiliation by school peers or stalking by female or male pedophiles

the good news is I born from 90s(no internet)

[evilmanua]

I will save you 4 minutes of your life. Don`t post pictures of children at all.

[ryanmax-grappler]

I feel like some sort of pervert because their algorithm keeps recommending kids videos on my page. Is there any way I can set age restrictions?? It's pissing me off for real

[marktheshark]

This reminds me of a video from The Onion.
