Jesus Christ, can’t even film your kids have a happy moment without offending some 20 something year old snowflake, who thinks we want their parenting advice.
Parenting advice from childless young people is like marriage advice from a priest
Filming kids during emotional moments is fine, it can be a great memory to look back on in the future.
The problem is when that video is uploaded to the public internet. Are you comfortable with generative AI training itself on videos of your kid? I know I wouldn’t be.
It’s not they filming that’s the problem, it’s posting a video of them being vulnerable on social media for everyone to see, and possibly be used against them in the future. Would you be appreciative if the next time you ugly cried, someone took a video of you doing so, adding their commentary, and then posted it for the world to see?
Other people mentioned how your missing the posting to the public part of the equation. Video and take pics of your kid, but those are private memories and the child should have a say in what gets shared with the public. (Obviously that is my opinion, but I support bodily autonomy. Even if they are under 18. This mean different things depending on the event, because sometimes kids are stupid. Parents obviously need to make their kids do some things they don’t want, but sharing things on social media is not one of those times. Maybe stop them for over sharing, but that’s it.)

Parenting advice from childless young people is like marriage advice from a priest
This isn’t really the same thing. A childless young person just went through being raised in the modern age. I don’t know where the kids hang out or what took over for skibidi after I found out what it is, but the young childless people might.
A priest that was never married has no life experience, but…they might hear what the arguments that are going around from talking to married people. They would be able to explain what worked with other couples…
Okay maybe you were right about the analogy, but my conclusion is different. Listen to them and see what they say. Just cause someone has a different life experience than you doesn’t mean they can’t form helpful advice based on their own.
No one is saying not film your kids, its more about the sharing of said films online to public forms.
Sending a embarassing video grandpa is one thing, but posting it for the whole internet to see is just a breach of privacy.
Strangers to the child, aunts, and schoolmates don’t really needs to watch little Billy public meltdown, Sally slipping into the pool, or a public review of Jonny’s report card and his punishment.
There’s espessially creepy ones too, I’m sure you could find things along the vien of “having the talk with Billy” or “Sally shopping for feminine products for the first time” if you looked. There are moments that simply should not be recorded. Those “family vlog” channels are some of the worst offenders.
We spend all our efforts telling kids not post pictures of themselves online or share too much personal information, yet today’s 15-20 year olds are finding pretty much their entire life catologed publicly on Facebook by other people,
Having that “life catolog” is cool, but the fact its publicly avalible to anyone is the creepy part.
We advocate for a child’s right to their online privacy. Let them to be the ones who choose what is and is not available for the world to see.
