Kids for Privacy
Children, too, have a right to privacy. A hashtag campaign is currently trying to make uncooperative parents see reason.
Actually, it should be clear by now: The publicly accessible internet is not the right place to publish children's photos. Nevertheless, 90 percent of all children (at least in the USA) are said to have appeared on social media by the time they are two years old. By the age of five, many children have up to 1500 photos online.
Even less so if the pictures were taken in the bathtub, on the toilet or on the beach. We would like to take this for granted, but the reality is different. Parents, some of whom are unworldly and media-incompetent, even tag the photos neatly so that they can be found if you explicitly search for them. Often, they don't even think about the privacy settings in social media.
These hashtags - over 100 - were used by the organization Child Rescue Coalition now apart. Together with the Los Angeles agency David&Goliath, the NPO has launched the Instagram campaign @KidsForPrivacy was launched. The aim is to adopt hashtags popular with paedophiles such as #pottytraining, #bathtime or #kidsbikini for a good cause - and make a statement for children's privacy in the process. By children holding "Privacy Please" drawings up to the camera and making it clear to adults: You don't have to photograph everything, nor do you have to share everything with the whole world. Privacy, regardless of age. The campaign runs until 27 April and anyone who wants to raise awareness of a widespread problem can take part. However, as always, it remains to be seen whether the campaign will have the desired effect and achieve the necessary reach. (hae)
