Good!
It’s super creepy and disgusting how some parents use their children as props for social media “content” 🤮

This is really important imo. Kids grow up predisposed to stupid oversharing of their private life. It cripples their ability to experiment and make mistakes if they have to fear being exposed to a giant audience.

I remember reading something about how gen Z, the first generation that had social media from early childhood, are more avoidant in making big life decisions than previous generations due to the sensitivity to publicly making a mistake.
Risk aversion is good for many things, but a lot of the best life experiences/accomplishments you can have require taking a leap at some point.

For sure, im not even a parent yet but this stuff is so complicated to deal with

It’s like a panopticon, but purely mental and inbuilt since their first memories.
This will lead to some heinous things down the line, probably started by those who by some luck of the draw weren’t exposed to the panopticon.

I tell you what, I said a lot of things as a child that I would vehemently disagree with today. If I had to be branded with that staining my image for life, I don’t think I could deal with the shame.

Also some parents just don’t know any better.

A friend used to routinely post about her children on Facebook and other SM, until someone claiming to be a grandmother tried to pick up one of her children from school. Fortunately, the school had safeguards in place and followed protocol. All those posts and pictures were deleted immediately.

Its so sad that stuff like this needs to happen before people wake up. The kids dont deserve failures like this as parents.

Just wait until you hear about all the ways parents used to also fail their children.
Technological literacy is ideal, but lacking it is hardly a failure of character.

I wonder what they consider oversharing. Where exactly is that line?
The first article will require parents to officially declare the use of their children’s image online to the Italian Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM). If a direct profit is gained from these activities, parents will have to transfer the money to a bank account in the child’s name, which will be accessible to the child after they turn 18 years old.
Interesting because I think most family channels do it for money now, though as part of a college fund may work If you have multiple kids and parents in a video how will it be divied up?

We don’t really need college founds in Italy, the fee for a middle class family is around 2k a year

I was confused as well, so I went out of my way to find this article which explains it.
PunkiBas@lemmy.world 7 months ago
From the article:
sharenting—a contraction between share and *parenting, *that indicates the practice of oversharing content portraying children on social media platforms.

I’d rather see them put a lot of effort into educating folks instead. If they’re well educated about how every in, works, this issue, and others in the future, would be addressed.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 months ago
The parents are already “burned” and wont change from some info campaign. The abuse starts before school or even kindergarden age so there is no chance to educate the victims.

Of course, ‘sharenting’ is a word.
