The other side of social media: Parents oversharing on social | Prime

Disgusting that someone leaked their school address!

There are quite a few parents in America now on the internet promoting their kids and earning money ! Cooking with Sammy is one of them originally from Romania ! There’s quite a few it’s very dark

I like how the products of the mistake who made them (kids and mom resp) say "oh my mistake (aka mom) didn';t know better" what a stupid comment. The mistake who made you didn't have to open her legs 24 hours to make a mistake which is you. As long as that mistake knew how to do s .ex that piece of $hit knew the danger of sharing. fk the moms and their kids if I was CEO of a company i would never hire the kids.

It’s interesting to see reports on this topic. Literally from conception kids are being followed.. people have figured out they can create family daily content like the Kardashians and all the other family shows.

How about ppl over Shaun general

I wish people would stop and think about posts like this: Would I print these photos and these captions and hand them out to random people in a crowded place?

Most would surely say no! But it is exactly what people do when they post their kids online.

It only takes 1 person to photoshop a photo that facebook has all rights to and will refuse to take it down. They get immunity. Thats what is law and it needs to change.

Liability out take the blanket away. Social media are great, but when companies don't care about the consequences of pornography, drugs, scams, bullying and the list never ends. Then the consequences are a must to have. Parents are showing the darkside of social media. It's not a blame, it is a fact. Are our politicians aware of what is going on? Protection for kids and even adults is a must to have. Adults are there for other reasons other than communication. The creation of the dark internet? They created pornography, child pornography, underground drug dealing, alcohol sales. Of course, the adults don't want to lose their connections. People complain to the FBI and they can't do anything about it. Technology is great for all of us. But we also need to address the consequences. For example, Facebook doesn't have any way for the users to report if you see something. Why? Facebook doesn't want to hear complaints. Other companies can be brought to court, but not social media. It's time for the FBI to work with social media. Mark has so many tools and tools. These tools are to avoid consequences and liabilities.

The UK desperately needs campaigns about this subject. "Don't share full names, don't share birthdays, don't share locations, don't share schools" Many of my contacts do ALL of the above and do not even restrict it to "Friends only", and even if they do, most of them have like 400, or 500 friends, so it makes no difference. I am no computer expert, but when I log into my account, I have access to quantities of pictures of kids in gymnastics leotards, swimming shorts, sometimes even naked in the bath or sitting on the potty, all with faces showing, and most uploaded by the kids' own parents, and some are not even friends with me on FB!

The kardashian kids are perfect example of this

I don't understand. What does she mean "swapping places with her 5 year old daughter". I still don't get what happened in the first story.

Unfortunately, the internet is a dark and unsafe space. If you check how many videos featuring children have millions of views and saves on TikTok, you clearly realise who it is being shared and with. Sadly, children don't have to be in compromising clothing and poses to be sexualised. I wish it weren't the case, but as it is, children are targets for predators everywhere.

Social media is so fake. I don't understand how people buy into it. If a mom is posting pictures of "fun" things she is doing with her kids all day long, that's a good indicator that she spends more time with her phone than she does with her children. When someone needs constant validation, that person is not living the perfect life you think they are. It's all a big lie.

After gaining knowledge that people in my circle were legitimately stalking my posts and keeping very close tabs on everything I did, (this is while being private!) it really disturbed me. I like my privacy and hate the feeling of being out in the open for random people to criticize and judge. But when people you've known for many years give you hints of judgement and others tell you what's being said about you in the open, I grew sick of it. And this is before kids are even in the picture. I know for a fact not everyone has the best intentions, you need to be selective with where you put your energy and who you give access to. It's unfortunate but some people just don't like to see others thrive, there's a lot of jealousy involved in social media. A LOT! And I don't wish to be any part of it.

I was already feeling disconnected from social media and its toxicity. I felt the utter waste of time being bombarded with sponsored posts and content that would affect me like an emotional roller coaster. I could be laughing at one thing to bawling my eyes out at something else and back to laughing all within the span of 5 minutes. We are not meant to be overloaded like this, it's not normal. I'm very glad I left, there is no going back. The people who I consider dear to me know they can always reach out.

Parents need to educate their children.
I do not want the state involved in anything .

Yes I have a two year old and I dont put his face on Social media. Also my account is private with only approved friends. We need to protect our babies

Dancing on camera for strangers with my children "to pass the time."

Read a book, play with your children, go on real life adventures.

Touch fucking grass

Damn! I’m glad I thought about the ‘child exploitation’ sooner rather than later. I used to constantly share photos of my son for a year, then I stopped mainly bcuz I don’t like the stereotypical ‘mom look’ or people assuming that I’m ‘just a mom’ when I still have plans to chase my dream job.
I still take photos of my son who’s now 4, but I never upload them. Some photos I print them out and make albums for mine & my families eyes to see ONLY. I love that old school look where we just share photos to our friends thru photo albums

Childhood goes by so fast and these parents will find that they don't remember enjoying much of their children's early lives because they were looking at them through a lens the whole time.
Put that phone down and talk to your kid. That's all they really want.

"If you do have yo include your kids"? Why would you uave to include your kids? This lady still doesn't get it.

Where were the oversharing dads in this segment?
