To protect your child, always question yourself before posting anything.
If more and more children are present on social networks from birth, it is because their parents like to share the highlights of their lives. However, this information is personal and can be used in an ill-intentioned way.
Ask the right questions
Even before your child can have their own social media account, they may already be online through the photos you post tagging them. To make sure you don’t make him feel uncomfortable or hurt him later, start by avoiding posts that show him in embarrassment or in the nude.
Indeed, this type of content can invade his privacy by creating a virtual identity with which he may not be comfortable later. In addition, photos or videos can be diverted and end up on child pornography sites.
Be careful who can access the information
To avoid harming your child, start by avoiding the dissemination of important information about his date of birth, his address or even these health problems. For example, you can post a photo of his birthday a few days later.
In this way, you avoid the use of his data by companies or even fraud and theft of his identity.
Finally, remember that even if you share information in a private group, it can be saved or shared and continue to exist elsewhere. So choose carefully the entourage with whom you exchange and remember to erase the history regularly.
