In relation to the idea of privacy i read this article and it really kind of bothered me. I know people are very concerned with their children being exposed to predators but i think that this is taking it way too far. This would mean people have to ask permission at soccer games,school plays and etc. from every childs parents which seems absurd. i think that people should be responsible enough to take care of their own kids, if at a soccer game you attend to and see your childs teammates parents taking a picture you should know thats okay, but if a stranger is doing so you should know to be wary. But the only way a parent can really do this is by being there. I think thats what we need to do with many aspects of our lives, we have to stop trying to make everything so stringent and instead be alert and aware of our surrounding. Be it with our children or with our facebook accounts, we have to know how to protect ourselves through knowledge and not expect others to be looking out for us when we educate ourselves about privacy setting or even who our children play with it makes privacy and safety much more attainable and simpler.
