Kids Are Now Legally Allowed To Sue Their Parents For Posting Baby Pics On Facebook


Do you hate people posting baby photos on Facebook? If you are part of a silent, repressed minority who don't give a damn about baby photos cluttering up your Facebook feed, here's some possible relief - parents might be sued for posting them on Facebook. Well, not in India (yet). The French government is warning its people that posting intimate photos of their kids on Facebook could win them a fine and jail time, if the kid sues. All the kid has to sue for is claiming that the photo is too revealing, and they'll stand to win up to €45,000 in damage. Professor Nicola Whitton from Manchester Metropolitan University told The Guardian: "I think we're going to get a backlash in years to come from young people coming to realise that they've had their whole lives, from the day they were born, available to social media. “In a few years, children could easily take their parents to court for publishing photos of them when they were younger,” Eric Delcroix, an expert on internet law and ethics, told Le Figaro. “Children at certain stages do not wish to be photographed or still less for those photos to be made public."
