Re: Posting photos on Facebook

Pictures are ok if you have privacy settings to Friends only!

@Skyegirl21 I was referring to public groups not on your personal page.

What EXACTLY can a predator get off FB that they can’t get irl? Millions and millions of people post pics on social media every minute. Please share some stats or case studies on the risks. Thanks.

Re: Posting photos on Facebook

When my first grandchild was born 20 plus years ago, my son and DIL told every family member they were never to post any of their kids' photos anywhere. They never have.

 

I personally think it's unsafe and foolish in this day and age but maybe that's just me.

Re: Posting photos on Facebook

I am very discerning about friends on Facebook.  My privacy settings are set they can only see my page.

 

My children are the same with their Facebook pages.  They and their friends have posted photos of their children from babies to high school graduation.

 

We have never had a problem.  Just make sure your settings are set correctly.

I can't imagine anyone posting pics of family members on public pages.  As long as your settings are set to "friends" there's no need to be concerned unless you are friends with people you don't know well.  The bigger issue is with the kids' own accounts.

Your original post didn't say that.

You can also control who can see your FB.

Re: Posting photos on Facebook

People still don't understand how Facebook works by now that's just sad.  It's all about YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS.  If your privacy settings are tight then only SELECT Facebook friends can see what you post.  You aren't posting to the world at large.  There are also CLOSED GROUPS.  An administrator controls the group and only those who have been accepted can post to the group and see posts.  We post post kids pictures and family stuff all the time.  It's our preferred method of sharing but our family and friends only post to closed groups.
