#OPSEC365 034/365 Parents post an average of 1,500 photos of their child online before the kid turns five. First day of school with the school name visible, sports uniforms with team and league info, birthday posts with exact ages. By the time kids are old enough to control their own digital presence, they already have one built by their parents. Children documented online from birth have no say in the digital footprint they inherit. Consider what your children would want documented publicly when they're adults. Some families use private channels like shared albums instead of public posts. Others simply don't post children's faces at all.
