How To Ask People Not To Share Photos Of Your Kids On Social Media
Huff PostImages By Tang Ming Tung via Getty Images There are several reasons parents may wish to keep photos of their kids offline. “Shared photos can be easily traced back to the parent’s identity and social media account, offering data brokers the ability to discern the child’s identity and start compiling digital dossiers on your kids,” Mark Bartholomew, a professor at the University at Buffalo School of Law, told HuffPost. Wilkey Oh suggested saying something like, “We’ve decided to not share photos of our child on social media, and we’re asking friends and family to do the same.” You can take the focus and pressure off others by using an “I” statement. When to make the request “Because posting photos of kids is so common on social media, many people don’t think twice about it,” Wilkey Oh said. If you’ve just welcomed your first child, you might send a group text or post a message on your own social media account saying, “We’ve decided not to put any photos of our child on social media to protect their privacy and until they are old enough to consent,” Wilkey Oh said.
