Sharenting

Others feel that the advantages of sharenting far outweigh any negatives. In an increasingly fragmented society, social media allows us to stay connected to friends and family, and get support that for many is not easily accessible.

Then there’s “sharenting.” Today, many children’s social media presence starts with a sonogram, posted, obviously, without consent.

On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their consent, robbing them of a kind of agency.
