The article discusses the phenomenon of 'sharenting', where parents frequently post photographs and videos of their children online. A 2018 report from the UK Children's Commissioner revealed that by age 13, children typically have around 1300 images shared online by their parents. This practice raises critical questions about the implications for children's future privacy and safety. A subsequent 2022 study echoed these concerns, revealing potential harms from 'sharenting', including the risk of exploitation in an unregulated environment, emphasizing the need to rethink data sharing practices.
