yeah, unfortunately no matter what i do to try to explain the importance of privacy to my parents, they think i'm delusional and ignore my requests not to post pictures of me online. they tell me that social media companies spying is fake and that they have nothing to hide and nothing to fear. but when they eventually realize that posting a picture of every stage of your child's life is a mistake, they won't be able to do anything about it. it seems that my generation is doing the same. kids that aren't even 12 have instagram pages and post pictures of themselves without knowing the consequences, simply because their parents do the same. i truly hope we can turn this around, we'll end up in a world where everyone publishes everything about themself if we don't.
