Chelsea’s presentation
Sharing pictures and videos online about family life has become a societal norm, with some parents even making a living as influencers by sharing their parenthood journey. The term ‘sharenting’ refers to parents sharing content about their children online.
While sharenting helps people stay connected with family and friends and creates online communities, it raises critical questions about children’s privacy and security now and as they grow up. As society continues to feed online platforms with rich data about themselves and each other, both governments and corporate entities have a reason to be interested in information about the future generation of our societies.
This presentation will explore the motivations behind sharenting, while examining the current and emerging risks and concerns for children’s privacy, such as exposure to predators, identity theft, and ethical implications of consent and autonomy.
