Child Privacy Online: Sharing Kids' Photos on Social Media Can Be Costly!
•Sharing children's photos online exposes their lives to potential misuse, even with privacy settings.
•Hackers can download shared photos, leading to identity theft, fake IDs, or posting on dangerous platforms like the dark web.
•Creating a 'digital footprint' from childhood photos can impact a child's future social reputation, as internet content is permanent.
•Location tags, school uniforms, or park details in photos can reveal a child's whereabouts to criminals, compromising safety.
•AI can be used to create deepfake videos or objectionable content from innocent photos, and social media likes can negatively affect children's self-perception.
