> But what does the chance of that happening have to do with people posting pictures of their half-naked kids? Would you want your kid to become a meme that gets posted everywhere?
I'd argue that chances of being significantly harmed are pretty much the same as being significantly enriched. Both extremely low.
It's good that people try to raise awareness about the fact that you can't control information you released. I just don't share the 'hide yo kids, hide yo wife' sentiment.
All that said, I personally share very little and don't really get why people post things on Facebook.
So, maybe that's the point the blogger is making. Hey, I didn't understand that positing on Facebook is the same thing like releasing to the public. Now, that I thought about it, no, I don't want to release my children pictures to the whole world for the whole of eternity. Sounds reasonable to me.
