How do you feel about posting photos or videos of your kids online? With our first we held off for a little while, maybe posting photos with their face obscured but after they got a bit older, we gave up. With our second we didn’t try at all. I don’t post very often, but I’m interested in hearing the other perspectives.

I use Google Photos shared album to share any photos and videos directly with those we wish to share with (close family). I deleted Facebook years ago and I never post on Instagram. Just prefer to keep things private around my children on social media. I’m not afraid of anything, I just think it’s a sort of respect for them.

At least now, people don't take pictures of babies in unflattering poses where there crotch is in the open like they did in the 90s. It's more aesthetically pleasing now because we now have better cameras. I have no problem with my children's photos being on the internet.

We post photos as it's the main way family over seas keeps up with them. I think the security concern gets a little over hyped but I think the risk if embarrassing a teen is real. We make sure all pictures show them favorably but for sure the teen versions if them will find fault in our approach.

Once I saw the blatant censorship on Twitter and IG I completely disengaged. We don’t have the free public square you think we have. The leftist echo chamber in most tech companies doesn’t help.

No I didn’t miss anything.

These companies showed their real faces. They’re no longer the nice and innocent points of social connection… they are mechanisms of social engineering, censorship, and propaganda. If you disagree try finding the videos comparing the TikTok experiences available to the Chinese vs those available in the US. Dig into the enraged parents discovering ped0s targeting their little ones… there are many serious reasons people no longer post faces of their kids online.

No way will I participate in these experiments by posting content that is most precious to me.

I would be upset yes. It’s non consensual, I didn’t approve of them.

I posted birth announcements of my first two. Mostly because I figured it was cheaper than sending something via mail to family.

Frankly I don’t think most of my Facebook “friends” know I have a third child.

And I don’t care.

Saw something about big tech having a whole profile of your child by age 5 based on posts from parents and just seemed creepy. They’ll get my kid’s data in time but why make it easier?

I only post with a fairly limited distribution. My experience is also informed by my wife.

Her father is a public figure, and she hated being in photos. As an adult, her father gets written permission from all of his children before posting anything with them in it, and they’re happy with it. From my view, you never know what your kids will want or won’t want, but it’s also reasonable to live partially online in today’s world.

I wouldn't be really comfortable constantly putting my child on the internet. What if one day they grow up and tell me that I shouldn't have put so many pictures of them up in the internet for all the world to see. Then I would consider myself a bad parent for doing so.

Everything in moderation I always say. Personally, I wouldn't want to put them out there so young. For our first born, we waited until he was a at least a year old before sharing his pictures to the world.

I post on Facebook visible to friends and family only.

I’m fine with IG and Snapchat as it’s solely restricted to the people I went seeing it. But I don’t trust Facebook so I avoid it

Lol yeah I’ve got some bad news for you…

My wife and I post very infrequently, and in most cases we cover their faces 👁️

Appreciate the perspectives. I’m private on all my apps, so I’ll probably continue to post for friends and extended family until my kids get old enough to voice their own opinion.

I am not totally against the idea of posting my kids online. I just make sure to not overshare online. It's for their own sake when they grow up.
