I don't understand how a parent can be OK non-consenually uploading pictures of their children's real faces to an ad driven AI company famous for abusing people's data and manipulating children on their platforms.

It is because they don't understand the scope of the problem. People are inclined to think that other people who have treated them kindly mean well also in the long term.

Probably the majority of the planet share family photos on facebook, messenger, whatsapp or instagram - all meta properties. On the whole nothing much bad happens.

You don't get how parents share pictures of their children with their friends and family on Facebook?

Non-consensual? Abuse?

The terminology you chose is tasteless, loaded, and detracts from your point.

My 5 year old didn't consent to going to kindergarten today. But I sent him any way. I am quite the monster it seems.

I don't get how private businesses allow these. It's as creepy as Google Glass, yet we don't see the same pushback.

Is it because younger people don't care about privacy anymore?
