Yes. I believe the vast majority of parents since the beginning of the social media age simply never even considered the potential privacy issues at play when they filled their accounts with pictures of their kids. They were just proud parents sharing their lives with friends and family.
Just because I think it’s selfish and irresponsible does not mean I think the average parent was acting with malicious intent. Social media was brand new for everyone, I’m not going to judge someone too harshly for failing to understand that their social media activity over the years could undermine their children’s right to privacy.
