I think - for better or worse - the idea of "internet fervor" as something that one can opt into or out of is probably outdated

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, video footage going viral is never going to be completely under the control of whoever's being filmed but let's not pretend that there's a much greater degree of "opting out" if your own parents decline to film your childhood hijinks and then post it to social.

[(Anonymous)]

Right but I think social media, and parents filming kids and putting it on social media, and all the rest of that stuff, is increasingly just a basic part of social existence

[(Anonymous)]

...no? Because parents are still free to choose to do that or not? Just because it's common doesn't mean nobody can opt out of that stuff if they want to. I'm not saying it's easy to do, but again, there's a greater degree of ability to opt out than you're implying.

[(Anonymous)]

It's theoretically possible for people to opt out of it, yeah, but there's a point where something is such a basic part of life that opting out of it is increasingly implausible and unreasonable to expect from people

[(Anonymous)]

You keep repeating this like it's how reality works and... still no. Uploading pics and video of your kids to social media is not a necessity for life. It's not "implausible" or "unreasonable" to expect people to be sensible about their privacy and their children's privacy.

[(Anonymous)]

What I think is that, the more native to social media people are, the less valence ideas about being sensible about privacy will have for them

[(Anonymous)]

There's degrees of that, too. My sibling's kids never appeared on social media of any kind, not even Facebook, until they started school and started showing up in other families' pictures! And now the oldest is a teenager and has his own social media, which is fine, that's under his control.

DA

And maybe it shouldn't be.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe it shouldn't, but it seems like it's going to happen whether people like it or not

[(Anonymous)]

Corn Kid doesn't bother me the way a lot of kids-shared-online do-- I think because it was a one-off interview that reminded me of like... soft-news stuff, rather than his whole life being online like family bloggers, or even it being a job like 'kids react' kids who aren't adequately protected by labor laws.

[(Anonymous)]

While I'm on side with the idea that it's uncomfortable for kids to be made involuntarily "famous" before they're able to consent, I feel like it's interesting to note that something similar was happening back in the 90's with "funny home videos" shows like You've Been Framed here in the UK.

I doubt any of those kids had to ability to say yeah, I'm fine with this clip of me throwing a tantrum in a school play or dancing around in my pants being broadcast to millions of people with a laugh track pasted on. I was a 90's child so my dad made tons of home videos of us just being dumb kids, and the idea of any of them being shown to the public to laugh at makes me die a little inside.

[(Anonymous)]

The difference is the scale though. To redistribute that clip would involve somebody having taped it on VHS, kept it, converted that 20-second clip to digital, uploaded it. Bit different to hours and hours of footage uploaded to YouTube, shareable, downloadable, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Little clips of stuff, single images and videos are one thing and they might or might not be ok, but family bloggers and family prank shows are the absolute worst and I hate them.

I guess my litmus test is "Was this sent to Grandma?" if it seems like something a parent would want to share with family I'm ok with it being online. If it seems like something designed to appeal to advertisers I want it scrubbed from our collective consciousness.
