I remember back in the 2000s, my favourite cousin had a baby and posted pictures of her daily. On MySpace. It was cute until she posted a picture of the toddler running naked through a sprinkler. She got a phone call over that one. Not that it wasn't adorable, but she had no idea that perverts would be following her to collect pictures like that. So I had to have a talk with her about The Internet. She didn't stop posting pictures of her baby every day. She just didn't post the naked ones anymore. Swimsuit though? No problem. I wouldn't have posted that, either, but, I already had the talk with her. I wasn't going to keep pushing the issue. This was way before AI was an issue. The only issue I had was people following her to get the pictures... and using details in the picture to find where they lived.
