I fundamentally don’t understand why innocent photos of you as a child are a bad thing.
Article lede:
Pedophiles and non-consent are a couple good reasons not to.
It's ok to share with family privately for sure. Publicly to the rest of the world, got to ask why would a parent do that? Probably to gain attention for themselves, it's not for the child or considering the child. They are essentially starved for engagement and attention and using their child to satisfy that need. That's the problem.
Simply put the strangers that want to see your child are not always for good reasons. Why do that to them?
You could try reading the article:
Well they didn't consent and now Meta owns photos etc of their entire life
Because these sorts of parents are stealing their children's privacy before they even have a concept of it. It's downright selfish to use one's children for internet attention and likes.
I'm glad I was raised before social media because my mom 100% would've posted every little detail about me and it would've been on fb for fucking ever. It would've been a nightmare.
It's bad enough having a gossiping, oversharing parent. Having one of those with access to social media must be a thousand times worse. I feel for those kids.
