"Why??"
Maybe that was the most of people asked when I said; "Please don't publish my child photos into social media."
Since I gave birth for Rumi, my Hubby is very straight and strict about it. We are not allowed publicly share Rumi's photos to any social media.
Friends and family are wondering why we do that.. even until now.
I'm just a regular person. Not a public figure. I'm not Andien, Chelsea Olivia or Gisel. I'm just me. The world doesn't need to know about my baby just yet. Maybe later when she get older, become someone important or doing something big in the future, people will recognize her by nature. But not now.
Actually, you can go Google yourself what are the negative impact for the publication of child's picture. So I won't tell about those impact here.
I write this post is just to give a clarification from my perspective as a Mommy.
I updated my timeline almost everyday. I snap pictures of my activities, my friends, my selfies, my lunchies, almost everything in my life. Super often.
When I visited my friend's profile, I could see their life. It is so easy to find information about them. And it's all free. Easily accessible from anyone in the world. Literally, ANYONE.
Privacy setting option in any social media don't give much secure feeling to us. Because what's already published on internet is everlasting.
I love my daughter beyond too much, and she is beyond precious to me. So we only share to our closest family and relatives.
We don't want any stranger out there having an image of her. They could be a pedophile or criminal. Checking out my family picture. Stalking and obtaining "easy and free" information about my family.
More beside of those reasons, we are as parents, don't really get the approval from her to publish any of her pictures. Because she is still a baby and she is not able to tell and interrupt us.
You can say we are overprotective.
You can say we are too much.
You can say we are paranoid.
But let me just tell you, better prevent than be sorry.
By writing this I don't mean to provoke you to do the same thing. You can do whatever you want and we won't stop you by any chance. Because everyone has their own reasons and different way about privacy. So let us protect our family in our very comfortable way.
