Very happy to start reading more often about how parents today totally abuse their kids right to privacy and to dispose of their future online and offline image as they see fit.
You wouldn’t steal from your kids, right? So why considering that their image belongs to you?

Interesting article. Thanks for sharing Paolo. My kids (7 and 5) usually like me sharing pictures of them (today). We’ll see what they think 10 years from now. To me, it seems like a cultural shift though, and if everyone is doing it, then it eliminates some of the “crazy” aspect of it.
This is a great point though. While I do like to take pictures, I also intentionally try to keep the camera away sometimes, to be more in the moment.
[…] Paolo makes and interesting point about it. […]
I don’t post pictures of my daughter online for this reason. How am I to know if she wants pictures on the internet? If I put them up, they’re not coming back, but if I wait until she can make a choice then she can always post them herself later.
