Parents are increasingly rethinking what it means to create an online footprint their child can’t actively consent to.

I have not posted a single photo of my kids on any platform for this reason. My wife on the other hand thinks I’m overly paranoid, so thanks to her, Zuck has a ton of photos of them…
