[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haha. Think of, for example, a coworker you are close with. She says "My first grand baby was born yesterday! I'm so proud! No, I can't show you a picture. Why not? I uhhh, well, I'm forbidden from showing people photos of my grandbaby. My DIL is afraid of....I don't know what... well she's a crazy person. "

I don’t think most parents are concerned about grandparents showing someone a photo in person.  The concern is usually putting the photo on the internet. My mom is welcome to show my kids’ photos to the checkout person at the grocery store for all I care, but I have asked her not to put photos on social media and she respects that (and when my loopy aunts put pics of my kids on Facebook, my mom is the one who asks them to take it down).

But, but, the checkout person could be a pedophile and get all your personal information from you MIL (or even mother) !  Your rule should be no photos ever![/quote]

Stop pretending you don't understand that showing a photo to someone in person is completely different that putting it out there on social media to live on the interwebs forever.

And yes there are pedophiles scraping social media for rubes who have no privacy settings, to gather photos they can include in their special databases, I have professional experience dealing with these folks.

They are much less common than your old high school friends who want to jack it to the photos the moms are posting of their barely dressed teenagers. [/quote]

Posting on social media is not equivalent to texting pictures to close friends and OP is banning that as well.[/quote]
