I use Instagram (and the post to Facebook feature for older family members) to occasionally post pics of things (including my kids) for friends and family. I keep my stuff private and keep my friends list to actual people I know and like IRL. But I know some parents in my social circle are phobic about their children being posted at all on social media because they are worried about Zuck harvesting all their babies information juices for targeted advertising ๐ง Curious about Blinder opinions
I don't even use social media so obviously I don't even post pics of myself and thus no pics of my kid. My wife wanted to post YouTube videos of our kid doing stuff and I said no. I would have been ok with her posting on Facebook.
Just try to be sure it's not something they'll hate you for later (like "first time on the potty!")
Lmao yeah Iโm not that type of over sharer
I have a private instagram for friends and family only and occasionally post pics of the kids but rarely. I rather not have pics of my kids โin the wildโ.
In general don't trust the big corps with your personal photo information. They have made cloud storage so cheap, buying hard disks are more expensive $/Gb, but I suggest we value our family privacy and pay the price to invest in a good DAS or NAS system long term.
The internet does not know what my kids look like from my side My wife has a small IG following of close friends and family that can see what she posts
It seems like you have limited sense of privacy and security and you are trying to judge others who understand it better.
Constantly posting pictures of your kids is the weird thing to do. Get out and interact with people IRL.
lol. I didnโt say I post pictures constantly but if I go out camping to some national park and post a pic of my kid in front of general sherman et al. Whatโs the harm?
Feel free to post pics of your kids. Etiquette is definitely do not post pics of otherโs kids. Quite a few of my friends refer to their kids not by name but by age. โWent to the museum with Eight and Ten.โ
Yeah agree. I donโt post pics of other peoples kids. Just seems like an irrational fear to me (to maintain and use social media but hide kid) and was curious how blinders feel since many are in social media space.
You have no idea of social media work. It will take one of so called close friends social media account to be compromised or if you WhatsApp them or send pics or any app which saves to gallery automatically phone to be stolen or lost to end up on all kind of weird places. Security is about how far you can see. You arenโt seeing far.
