I'm very sorry, you had pictures thrown out into the internet of you?

I'm fully on board with laws that make it illegal to post pictures of your kids publicly. It's so selfish in my eyes, the kid has no say at all and they will be followed by those pictures for decades. They only think about themselves, look at our baby, look at us parents. Never "will our future child be happy with us posting them".

I think it should be minimum approved to sue the shit out of them for doing it.

Not just. But yeah. I have the curse of knowledge that Meta wrote a shadow profile about me, and because I live in a panoptic state, everything about me is tracked and monitored. I didn't consent to either oppressions, but found it extremely wild that if my parents survived abductions, gangs, and their own parental abuses, they couldn't think one step further “maybe we shouldn’t create Meta accounts to talk about our family even if people make false rumors about us.” Boomers really fucked us up.
