Of course, 'sharenting' is a word.

I definitely read "sharting" at first glance
believe it or not, right to jail, right away.
A right to jail bad parents as other citizens observe them would probably do a lot to change parenting.
There'd be hardly any parents left if you could jail bad parents on whim based on a singular observation.
Then many of those kids would be even worse off...
Thinking back to the very "concerned parents" of my childhood, they were usually the over protective lunatics
Well, note how I didn't say it would improve parenting.
Lol! Touché
It would still have to be for something against the law, not just any random old complaint...
Ya'll out here wholly forgetting how rights are actually stripped from people...
1 million years dungeon!
I just read an onion article and thought this was another one.
Good!
It’s super creepy and disgusting how some parents use their children as props for social media “content” 🤮
This is really important imo. Kids grow up predisposed to stupid oversharing of their private life. It cripples their ability to experiment and make mistakes if they have to fear being exposed to a giant audience.
I remember reading something about how gen Z, the first generation that had social media from early childhood, are more avoidant in making big life decisions than previous generations due to the sensitivity to publicly making a mistake.
Risk aversion is good for many things, but a lot of the best life experiences/accomplishments you can have require taking a leap at some point.
If you fell on your face before the camera phone. Your 2 friends laughed at you. Nowadays the whole school laughes at the video of you for a week or more. I am not at all suprised that young people are risk avoidant. I feel so very priveleged that I grew up in the slim timeframe while the internet was new and exciting and made modem warbling noises. And not now in the time when we are permanently connected, and absolutly everything on the internet is trying to exploit you, and have a team of psycoanalysts to make it most effective on you.

For sure, im not even a parent yet but this stuff is so complicated to deal with
I tell you what, I said a lot of things as a child that I would vehemently disagree with today. If I had to be branded with that staining my image for life, I don't think I could deal with the shame.
It's like a panopticon, but purely mental and inbuilt since their first memories.
This will lead to some heinous things down the line, probably started by those who by some luck of the draw weren't exposed to the panopticon.
Also some parents just don't know any better.
Sharenting.
Close relation with Sharting
I would go for shit parenting
The Shartening
I wonder what they consider oversharing. Where exactly is that line?
The first article will require parents to officially declare the use of their children's image online to the Italian Communications Regulatory Authority (AGCOM). If a direct profit is gained from these activities, parents will have to transfer the money to a bank account in the child's name, which will be accessible to the child after they turn 18 years old.
Interesting because I think most family channels do it for money now, though as part of a college fund may work. If you have multiple kids and parents in a video how will it be divied up?
We don't really need college founds in Italy, the fee for a middle class family is around 2k a year
That for 4 years and living expense ain't nothing.
Sure, but nothing close to 60k a year
Thought sharenting meant split custody situations, was confused. Am a little high.
That’s a good idea. Think I’m gonna get high myself
How'd it go
Pretty great. I munched a brownie, made pancakes and watched a movie.
Same. And I wasn't even high.
Yhe fuk is sharenting
I was confused as well, so I went out of my way to find this article which explains it.
From the article:
sharenting—a contraction between share and *parenting, *that indicates the practice of oversharing content portraying children on social media platforms.
It's a portmanteau really - unless this is another American English difference.
I'd rather see them put a lot of effort into educating folks instead. If they're well educated about how everything works, this issue, and others in the future, would be addressed.
The parents are already "burned" and wont change from some info campaign. The abuse starts before school or even kindergarden age so there is no chance to educate the victims.
As someone who's always hated being publicized, yes pls.
