Social networks are full of photographs of friends, animals and children mainly. Everyone likes to share their happy moments with other people and get feedback from the community, however, it is not always a good idea, especially when it comes to children.
Every time a famous person posts a photo of themselves with their children on any social network, the first thing that attracts attention is that the child’s face is blurred or an emoticon has been placed on his face so that he does not see it.
One of the best-known people in the world and who also owns Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, always does the same in all the publications in which he appears with his children, so if the owner of millions of the data from billions of people around the world does it. Why shouldn’t we do it too?
Others, such as Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, do not cover their children’s faces when they share them on this social network, something that is very striking considering that they are still minors and that this ignorant person has rather little. .
Eliminate the trace of the Internet
Anything that is published on the Internet stays there forever. While it is true that, with the right to be forgotten law, we can ask Google to remove links from search results, the website that contains that content is not required to remove it.
If we post pictures of our children from birth to adulthood and they have the chance to open an account on a social network, anyone who has access to those accounts can get to know that person in depth, who their friends are, where they are going , with whom he is related, where he lives and much more, offering valuable information to strangers that the minor probably does not want to share. We must bear in mind that not everyone likes to share their life on social networks.
In this way, we are really conditioning the future of our children without their consent, without taking into account how complicated it is to later delete all that trace of the Internet. Many are the parents who do not value or have not stopped to think about the repercussions of publishing photos of their children, repercussions that, in the future, may pose a privacy problem for them.
With all this we do not mean that we should stop posting our family photos on social networks. We can continue to do so without any problem as long as we follow a series of tips to prevent anyone from accessing those photos.
-
Set our profile to private. In this way, each person who wants to follow us will have to receive our authorization to be able to do so.
-
Delete all the followers that we do not know personally or with whom we do not trust enough to share the images of our children.
-
Avoid posting information about where we are or where we are going.
