[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting article here on CNN about kids pushing for legislative protections for kids against their parents oversharing about their childhood lives on social media: https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/29/us/social-media-children-influencers-cec/index.html

Please read so we can have a discussion on this important issue.

No, it is not only about parents who are influencers or otherwise monetizing their kids' lives - just regular everyday parents who overshare on social media and how it impacts kids at the time and long term.

I have a couple of friends - but only a couple - who adhered to a pledge never to post photos or much if any information about their kids on social media.

Most of the people I know - very good, decent people - [b]post a lot about their kids on Facebook, Insta, etc. [/b]It is interesting to consider that from the child's perspective.

I don't find this to be true.  Most people I know post a few pictures a year of their kids with very little information shared except "First day of school" or "great game today".  The vast majority of people are just sharing a few pictures.

The few people I know who are nuts about never posting a single photo online strike me as out of touch.  [/quote]
