100% with you on this regarding relations with adults. But children is where it gets spicy. Like, for me, I genuinely believe I'm not doing my job as a father if I don't protect my children from google, meta, etc... My wife genuinely thinks she needs to protect them from me so that I don't ostrasize them from their peers. It's a real issue...
neither gates nor zuck nor jobs let their kids anywhere near the tech they sold
do you have a source for that?

My wife and I negotiated that we don't post kids photos, names, or specifics to open groups. Emailing them is okay. Posting to closed groups is okay.
It's been a few years, and it's working out so far.
We have a similar thing going. But my kids are getting to an age where they wanna use tiktok and post on insta. I think that beyond the privacy issues it's actually a mental health risk. My wife thinks being excluded from what their peers are doing is an even bigger health hasard.
We haven't quite gotten to that point.
My take is that kids can post non-identifying content as long as there's no public comment section. I'm not sure how that'll work out, but we'll try it (or whatever we negotiate) when it comes time.
