The headline of this is so clickbaity in making it sound like some little old grandma posted pictures of her vacation and big evil government made her remove them.
She posted pictures of grandchildren against their mother's wishes. She's just being selfish, and the fact that she's a grandmother isn't really germane to anything.
- kedean 6y agoThe description of the defendant as "a grandma" is definitely meant to get you on a particular side of the story before even reading it.
- mellosouls 6y agoShe's not called "a grandma" which is folksy and so you would be correct. She's referred to as "grandmother" to indicate the relationship which is relevant to the story and the presumable toxicity of the situation.
- mellosouls 6y agoIt says the complaint was made after they fell out - I agree she should take them down, no question. But the story could be read as the daughter spiting her mother by making her take down photos she was happy with before the fall out. I'm not claiming that's what happened - maybe they fell out because of this - just saying we shouldn't rush to judgement on her motivation for pushing back.
- andrewmutz 6y agoI agree that the grandmother should respect her daughter's wishes and take them down. I would disagree that it is the role of the government to enforce this.
- mattbee 6y agoI disagree, the detailed headline helped me to predict the story correctly. Her use of Facebook as a grandmother was very typical and the disagreement one I'd heard before. It'd be irrelevant if she was posting data she'd got e.g. from her job.
- jiveturkey 6y agoeh. I thought both the article and the headline were fair.
