I only talk about Sproutlet in mostly generic terms in public... on facebook when I do show photos, etc... it's to a limited distribution, and not the whole world I think I've taken a reasonable approach to the management of the 10,000+ photos/videos, of which maybe 20? have made it into the world.

Its still getting shared with Facebook. Are you okay with having your child's photos being used for training facial recognition software? Is your child okay with it?

  It's unavoidable in US society these days. I'm sure that tagging has happened on photos from other children in classes, parties, etc. Am I ok with it? I accept the things I cannot change.

    Of course it’s not. Neither of my children’s faces have ever appeared on social media. It just requires a little discipline on the parents part, which seems to be in short supply these days.

      You can’t discipline others at birthday parties, unless you want no one to show next year. Maybe beg and plead, not sure.

      I’d be willing to bet their photos have been taken at malls and sold to marketing agencies, and their future passport and drivers license photos will too

    Being okay with things you cannot change and actively working to further those things are two very different concepts

    You cannot change the fact that you're posting photos of your kids on facebook?

  Facebook purged all their face recognition data a few years ago. It's not even an available feature now.

    That’s huge and I hadn’t heard. Something actually deleted. (Assuming it is not a PR stunt.)

      It was when privacy laws started forming and the EU was beginning to really push IIRC. I don't think it was PR, they probably saw they were painting a giant target on themselves as long as they kept that functionality.
