[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparents...hate to break it to you but you had your turn. You have absolutely zero claim to your grandchildren. [/quote]

I guarantee you this person demands free childcare from the grandparents. [/quote]

What's up with all the crazy grandparents on this post!?!?

A child is a minor. Grandparents generally suck at computers/internet. I surely don't want my child's face, name, age, birthday, etc plastered over the internet.[/quote]

+1.

I don't think it is unreasonable if parents do not want images of their children online or passed around without their consent. It doesn't matter why they don't want photos up because it is nobody else's decision but the parents' regardless of how anyone else feels about it. It isn't their news to share.

If they were actually friends or family of the couple (aka: actually interested) then they would receive updates from the parents. To show anyone else, they should ask permission. "Hey, do you mind if I get a photo of XX and I to show my friends from church/bridge/whatever?"

Another reason to remove or blind your children's identities from the internet is that people can target not just the information about your children for identity theft but also kidnapping or trafficking. Beyond location information (like the parks you frequent or your neighborhood), information on preferences can become grooming tools. Also, a lot of people dealing with domestic violence, stalking, etc, do not want to share that information with people especially when someone is still attempting to hunt them down...

FWIW, my ILs have already proven untrustworthy by passing images around so any photos that are shared with them have the eyes/face blocked with a white zigzag or emojis blocking the child's face. Generally, that solves it because it protects their privacy. They can't undo it, either. Sour grapes now.

People that are respectful, not plastering the photos on open accounts, and have good common sense are free to show pre-approved photos from their phone or to post with restricted settings. It isn't that hard and not unreasonable. It isn't worth sabotaging your relationship with the parents or the children themselves when they are older.
