it will be weird when those kids grow up and find out that there parents have publicly shared all their dumb childhood years for everyone to see. tbqh i don't think i'd be so pumped if i reached adolescence and found out that there were all these pictures and videos of me growing up that everyone has been looking at and commenting on. it seems like it might be an issue for the next generation and i wonder if maybe there will be lawsuits filed by some angry teenagers. or something i don't know how it works but it seems like a moral gray area if you ask me

i would consider privately shared albums with family members, but would not give my children a social media presence without their permission. they will get full religion and circumcisions, however.

^e: yeah that's a problem to, I think even among peers my age (25) we felt the pressure when in high school and college to prove our social value through our social media accounts. Doesn't really seem to be a thing after college but I know during some people commented it was kinda weird I never really used my facebook other than as a chat client and a way to get ahold of me after meeting me. I maybe upload a couple pictures after major events like birthdays or something but I didn't document my every weekend or anything.

Is it really that much different from your mom showing everybody embarrassing photo albums of you? It's not like people are putting naked baby pictures online they usually just tend to be "here's my baby making a face probably caused by discomfort from gas" or for more toddler aged children "here's my niece dancing goofy at a family barbecue". I'm doubtful these pictures will haunt anyone, where social media really screws things up is when you get young kids old enough to use the internet but naive enough to not realize that that poo poo will follow them around forever and then they post things that could prevent them from holding a public position if it got dragged up later.

There's also those kids that tweeted bomb threats because they didn't realize they'd be taken seriously. You really should be like 18 before you have social media accounts that aren't like school specific or something.

i take pride in the fact that if i was ever wanted by the law for big time crimes the news would be showing pictures of me completely plastered because that's all they would have to work with...naturally a lot of people would relate to this and think i wasn't so bad after all. but the gov having pictures/info of its citizens from cradle to the grave is super creepy, i guess no need for implanting chips into newborns anymore!

I understand the desire to use the conveinence of the internet to share pictures of your child with family and friends but at least take some quality pictures show the ones off that flatter the baby's appearance, and host them on a decent hosting site like smugmug or something and just put a link up on facebook. At least just make ur FB profile private so internet weirdos can't creep on your baby pictures and save them to their spank bank or make plans to abuse/kidnap ur child... jfc people

I would like you and everyone else in your peer group to know that the only thing new about what you just described is that it's happening on Facebook. I went through high school before people knew what the Internet was and the same dumb poo poo happened. Kids are horrible monsters and sometime around the legal drinking age most people snap out of it.

I love how it took teachers, parents and school administrators like 3 years to catch on to the whole "kids are posting drinking and gently caress pics on the internet!"

My girlfriend's mom actually talks about what her little sister's friends post on Facebook. Before I graduated, you could pretty much be like "Hey everyone. Here's a picture of me smoking a bong with a beer in my other hand and my dick out! gently caress cname girlfriend's whore mother, she's a sodding oval office!" and not hear a thing about it from anyone other than your friends.

Cyber bullying, sexting, sending naked pics, all that was "underground" while I was a junior/senior. The internet was the wild west.

Must suck to be young, now a days.

"Parents figured out the internet" has turned parents into proto-children who attempt to intervene and dictate playground rules. It's creepy as poo poo to hear parents judge their kid's friend for something he or she tweeted. It's kinda like if a mom were to run out on the football field, because someone tackled her son a little too hard, for her liking.

I seriously hope my generation is privy to Y2K style internet cruzing. I hope that when we have kids, we can back off and be like "Ok, we had the internet when we were young. Let's let kids have the internet back!" and gently caress off. I'd hate to ever have to check up on my kid's facebook page or some poo poo, but I know since other parents are and will be doing it, I'll also have to. :smith:

It's funny when I'm working at a high school cause kids think they can text and they're being really sneaky about it

I know man, I had a cell phone in high school. I'm not your 40 year old teacher.

Also the most sobering thing is realizing that teachers literally heard every curse word and slur and gossip you ever said in the classroom but just ignored it.

I miss those days...you really have to put the filter on FB big time these days because most people friend everyone they've ever met (and their parents/extended family as well) and never really weed out people who they haven't seen irl in over a year or two. All it is to me now is just a way to casually follow what some friends/things you are interested in are up to, see how hosed up/busted/retarded/overly serious people you went to HS with are, event/party invitations, and a lazy way to share phone pictures/stupid internet poo poo (of course poo poo that isn't too risque/non-pc - no posting Star Wars 9/11 mashup gifs these days unless you want to rile up ur friend's grandma or overly sensitive person that said friend lived down the hall from sophomore year of college you you've never even met). i still have an active acct but i really havent really regularly contributed to it in years. these wonderful forums allow me to satisfy that itch of acting a fool on the internet like back in the day without alienating friends/family (i mean supposedly you can't even say 'human being' ironically or not on FB anymore) on public record under the watchful eye of the SJW thoughtpolice and the NSA for the low, low one time fee of :10bux: Thanks SA. :)
