The Impact of Posting Photos of Children on Social Media: Understanding the Consequences and Protecting Privacy

Other times, parents do it in such a way that the faces of the smallest children are hidden.

The photo in question is an Instagram post by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Under the publication of the 39-year-old billionaire, there is a discussion about why Zuckerberg hides the faces of his seven- and nine-year-old daughters.

Zuckerberg understands like no one else how one thoughtless publication on social networks can affect a child’s future. Most parents around the world don’t even think about the fact that when they post photos of their children, they are starting their children’s digital footprint.

On average, a five-year-old child has around 1,500 photos that parents have published on the Internet without the child’s consent. This means that children can become an object of some kind of tracking on the Internet, and parents do not think about it.

In the active time of technological development, especially when talking about artificial intelligence, the consequences of careless publications can be even tragic, but in general – they violate the privacy of the child. Children whose photos are published on the Internet can become victims of non-compliance with data protection – their photos and images can even be used to create artificial intelligence pornography.

Every photo you post counts
