I would just tell her that you should really not ever “create an account for your newborn child” who may not want their whole childhood documented on the internet forever later on in their life.

For all you know they may not turn out to keep being your daughter forever. It’s kind of a gross overstepping of parental boundaries and something that should be left for them to decide.

This doesn’t mean you can’t keep records in case they want them in the future but as someone that grew up well before all this social media stuff it sort of terrifies me regarding the privacy and agency of younger generations.

Makes me glad I have always been extremely averse to having any sort of photos of me or any of my personal information anywhere online that I did not post till well into my 30s.

Do with this information what you will but I had that boundary crossed just with photos and such shared around way before I had any way to consent to it and some aspects still make me feel violated to this day and there is nothing I can do about it.



I just assume I could possibly be filmed in public wherever I am whether crossing the street or watching some obscure local punk band in a dive bar. Do I like it? Not necessarily, but in the age of mass surveilance and ubiquitous smartphones it’s not something I can really control in any way outside knowing it is there and obscuring my face when doing cool shit.
