Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.

Interesting how there are so many mentions of people worried about AI and only sharing photos in closed groups on Instagram/Facebook. I'm not sure that's actually keeping the photos away from AI.

I think a large part of their concern is AI-altered photos generated by an individual.
