The initiative follows an awareness campaign that has gained a lot of traction in recent weeks. A post encourages mothers to upload three photos of their little ones. They must also nominate ten other mothers who will have to do the same.<\/p>\n\n

The problem with chain posts<\/h2>\n\n
\n

\u201cIf you are proud of your children, post 3 photos and nominate 10 of your friends to do the same!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

An invitation that almost sounds like a threat. Indeed, it makes the person who receives the message feel guilty. The one who does not go along with the ritual is not proud of her children, she does not love them\u2026 therefore she is a bad mother. Difficult then to break the chain!<\/strong> Especially since the act seems quite harmless at first glance.<\/p>\n\n

Yes but\u2026 yes but posting pictures of your offspring is not as trivial as it might seem. Some consequences can be rather unfortunate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\n

\u201cwe remind you that posting photos of your children on Facebook is not without risk!\u201d<\/p>\nThe Gendarmerie Nationale<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Beyond the significant risk linked to sexual delinquency, openly exposing your children on social media can have an impact on their reputation.<\/strong> By giving in to this temptation, we are therefore compromising their digital future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

In a few years\u2019 time, some children, once grown up, may consider that their parents violated their privacy. And let\u2019s admit it, they would be right! Through these posts made without their explicit consent, we may harm their reputation. The risk? Up to 1 year in prison and \u20ac45,000 in fines<\/strong> in the most serious cases\u2026 Rather dissuasive, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\n
\"Protect
Protect your children from overexposure on social media<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n

As parents, we must take responsibility and set an example<\/h2>\n\n

But that is not the most important point. In a world where the bullying of some children by their peers is largely facilitated by social media<\/strong>, the role of parents is also to protect the image of their little ones.<\/p>\n\n

Yet they are often the first to post, in a very innocent way, the \u201cembarrassing photos\u201d that will brighten up their different profiles. Ill-intentioned people will find there, served on a platter, all the subjects of mockery and destabilisation useful and necessary for their misdeeds.<\/p>\n\n

This is of course not about forbidding ourselves to share photos and videos of our good times with family or friends who may be far away. The idea is to know how to use the right tools to protect our privacy and that of our children<\/strong>. Private sharing is probably the best way at present to meet both our desire to share and our need for confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n

What Joomeo.com offers in this area is among the most effective and advanced solutions<\/strong>. Our sharing options, rights management on each album, protecting your shares by identifying your contacts\u2026 so many features that make Joomeo an ideal platform to preserve your privacy.<\/p>\n\n
