Seriously. Was it a Super Bowl SEX PARTY?! Then settle down.
I don't post naked bath pics of my daughter, or other people's new babies. But beyond that, SETTLE DOWN.
Agreed. And I cannot understand the hullabaloo about posting a class picture of some random kids. No one knows it's your kid over there in the corner picking his nose and no one cares. They are looking for the kid they know, gushing appropriately, and moving on.
Also, don't bring your damned kid to my kid's birthday party and then be shocked that your child's picture ended up on FB. Do I really have to go through all the birthday pics that only grandma cares about lest someone see some random kids they don't care about?
It actually makes a little hostile.
Oooh but you should blur them! What exactly am I saving your child from? They have their clothes on. They're sober. They are wearing proper safety equipment if required. CALM YOUR TITS!
Here's what I know, if I am friends with you on Facebook and you don't share some cute halloween costume pics of your kids, I'm deleting you forever. You're dead to me. *spits on ground*
My page is on lock-down. You can't even look up who my friends are, where I'm from....nothing. I feel more at ease posting pictures of my children knowing that some random nasty can't access them.
All of our faces are in some random person's photo album or shoe box from all the film photos that were taken of us at some point in time during our childhoods. Who knows. Ken Burns, III may even use them on a documentary of the "Reagan Years" someday and then our youthful likeness will be seen by millions!! Let's all freak out!!
True story. My cousin is INSANE about Facebook. She's not on it, and doesn't want her kids on it ever. She has friends that will report back to her if one of her children appear there; she even got mad when her kids in COSTUMES that hid their faces were put on there.
But a few weeks ago, the insanity jumped the shark. Two of her kids had their pictures appear in the local print paper. The caption said something along the lines of: "Jane Smith, age 8, John Smith, age 9, and Sarah Johnson, age 9, of [town], MA, enjoy the festival."
She was really excited about this and sent clippings to grandparents, etc. But when "Sarah Johnson" 's parent scanned it and put it on Facebook, she berated this woman for putting all those details about her kids on Facebook.

Her paranoia has become a family joke.
That is hilarious.
At schools, parents are always allowed to opt out of having their kids kid's likenesses used on school websites and publications and such. I once had a parent upset that I had her kid's picture on the wall in my classroom. I had a group picture of my homeroom group and hung it in the room. It was not sent externally at all....and the kid sat in that room every single day. So his face was allowed to be in the room but not a picture of his face. I found that amusing.

What? Is she not aware newspapers are googlable? Or does Facebook have extra cooties?

People can be REALLY weird about privacy stuff. I was talking to my cousin about snowden and the nsa leaks and she said she didn't care about the monitoring bc she has nothing to hide. She then goes on to SHOCK me by saying the purchase price and all the real estate information about her house is online. And how much more dangerous that was for her. I was like, yeah. It's public information. And she was all- but it's on the internet! She actually called and tried to have the information taken down.

I was so dumbfounded I didn't know what to say.
LOL! That's all on a state property tax database here. That would be a hilarious phone call.
