I’m not absolving anyone, but it’s misguided and counter-productive to place prime responsibility on them. No one forced any parent to tout their kids on social media (or regular media) for klout and profit opportunities.
If you stop social media companies, shitty parents would find another way to sell their kids for promotion. Parents should learn that their behavior is wrong and stop doing it.
- ryandrake 3y agoAdditionally, even if you can’t stop social media companies, my kid still isn’t on Facebook because we don’t use Facebook or post her there. The power is in the parents’ hands. The loophole is if some other parent takes a picture at a party or something that includes our kid and posts it. We try to mitigate this by telling The Facebook Moms in very clear terms that if they post pictures including our kid, then we won’t be doing anything with them anymore.
