  1. Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone.

    In my opinion, it is the mother's right whether she wants to post her baby's photo online. I know new mothers are excited to share their happiness with their friends online. Not all of their friends can come over to their house to see the new baby. So, the mothers post the photos online. They even set the privacy on their social account to ensure that only friends can view their photos.

    However, according to many experts, even if you lock down your privacy settings to prevent strangers viewing your pictures and posts, that doesn’t stop others from uploading pictures of you or your kids (The Guardian, 2017). But, as I said before, it is the mother's right to do what she wants.

    Maybe the new mother can posts the photo when there is a special occasion such as birthday or first day of school to remember the special occasions. Sometimes it is good to share your happiness, but the mother still need to be considerate to their friends who still do not have children. That is all from me. Thank you.

  3. Good afternoon everyone. Thanks for the good discussion posted by you Rose Sunina. Nowadays, it is undeniable to people that are always posting babies photo to the social media especially among celebrities. It is to make them feel happiness to share about their privacy that become more public.

    But for me, it is have good impact and also have bad impact to them. For the good impact, all people can know more about the status of people that post some photo babies in social media. It is to ensure their admire can support them every time and everyday. It will give more supportive and inspiration to the one that post the babies photo in their life or career.

    The bad side that I can see when people always post photo babies in social media is the they are will get variety of bad comment from the netizen and at the end this people will get many criticism in media social. The news that was updated on April 2015 that I was read from mail online, mention that Australian woman Jade Ruthven was lambasted on her social media account by her friends, who were so sick of her constant updates about her baby daughter that they wrote her a scathing letter demanding she stop. The shocking letter, littered with expletives and exclamation marks told the mother that they were 'so over' the running commentary on her daughter's life.

    So, this is give negative impact to the person that was posted privacy life of the children and it will make the person become more threatened from outside because no have privacy yet about their life.

    That's all from me. Thank you.

  4. Good day rose sunina,

    It is sure a good subject to discuss about, the effects of posting baby’s photos on social media, because it is like a trend nowadays that every mother in this world would want to do. In fact, there is one article I read online few days back, about a Bollywood actress who was bashed by the public, stated that she does not know how to take care of her baby just because she does not create any social media account of her new-born baby. Reading this article made me think that, is that really how the society define whether a mother can take a good care of her children or not, by creating social media accounts of her baby, or maybe in this case, posting pictures of her baby? That is why I think posting pictures of new-born babies is like a trend nowadays.

    Back to the discussion, I think posting pictures of our children in the social media brings nothing more than negative consequences to the child. First of all, there is always a question of safety when we post anything in the social media. There are parents out there who without reluctant, post pictures of their children, while disclosing their full name, date of birth, place of birth, or worse, the location of their whereabouts. Moreover, with pedophiles around us we can never guarantee that they will do nothing about the pictures posted. This could threaten the safety of the children in a way that people might use the picture or identity of the baby for bad intentions, and for some extreme cases, people might want to do bad things to the children.

    Nevertheless, for some parents, they might see that posting pictures of their children, is a way for them to connect with their family and friends on Facebook, and at the same time, because they feel so proud of their children, they decided to post pictures of them. Like in the article that I have found from The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/21/children-privacy-online-facebook-photos , the writer mentioned that she posted pictures of her children because she wants to share the growth and development of her children with her friends and relatives who don’t necessarily live nearby. So we can see that for some parents, they have different argument on this issue. All in all, I still strongly believe that parents should always control from posting too many pictures or videos of their children on social media. As a matter of fact, that could lead to one of the best precautions for parents to protect their children’s privacy, by not exposing too much of their children to the world.

  5. Terima kasih untuk perkongsian.

    saya bersetuju dengan saudari rose tentang kesan jika gambar atau video anak-anak didedahkan dalam media sosial. Hal ini kerana gambar boleh dikongsikan secara "PUBLIC" dan boleh di "Download" sebagi simpanan.

    terdapat segelintir masyarakat suka memberi komen atau kritikan, kesannya akan mendatangkan emosi kepada ibu dan anak apabila sudah dewasa jika kembali membaca komen atau kritikan tersebut.

    selain itu terdapat juga jenayah yang melibatkan kana-kanak, hal ini begitu membimbangkan rakyat Malaysia hari ini. Diharapan masyarakat kita lebih peka tentang isu atau masalah yang berlaku di negara kita.

    tetapi saya juga tidak melarang jika ibu bapa ingin berkongsi gambar atau video di dalam laman sesawang, jika ia hanya tatapan kenalan rapat atau ahli keluarga sahaja.

  6. Hello everyone.

    Due to the emergence of social media, some people tend to share anything, starting from their opinion, activity, pictures, videos and etc. Now, we will focus on the issue of mothers share their children’s picture in social media especially Facebook and Instagram. From my point of view, I oppose the idea of mothers should upload photos of their kids to the social media just to show you their happiness. There are many ways to show it, but post picture might not the best way for it. Why? I have two reasons that I want to share to all of you. Firstly, parents should protect the children’s privacy. Some parents upload a picture when their baby naked to the Facebook, that is cute actually. Yet, what happen if the baby turn becomes an adult and see his or her picture naked in Facebook? Few people will feel embarrassed if their friend might see it. Besides that, when parents have upload the pictures to the social media, they cannot have control over the pictures anymore. For example, the photos that they upload might be used for a bad thing by other people and who knows it can be harmful to the kids.

    For your information, I read a news in Daily Mail Online about parents in French can be sued by their children in future because upload any photographs of them. According to Stanton (2016), “mothers and fathers face a year in prison and a fine of £35,000 if they are convicted of publicising details of their children’s private lives without their permission”.

  7. terima kasih atas perkongsian yang diberikan.

    seperti yang kita semua maklum, masyarakat kini sanagt gemar mempamerkan gambar anak-anak mereka di laman-laman sosial seperti di facebook dan instagram. perkara ini sanagt membimbangkan dengan keadaan negara kita sekarang yang semakin berleluasa kadar jenayah penculikan kanak-kanak.

    benar, menjadi hak untuk ibu bapa tersebut untuk memuat naik gambar anak mereka tetapi perlu dingatkan, manusia rambut sahaja sama hitam tetapi hati lain-lain. jika mereka berniat untuk melakukanjenayah, maka mereka akan lakukan. perlu berhati-hati dan berdoa agar perkara ini dijauhkan daripada kita.

    sekian terima kasih.

  8. Good Day Everyone,

    This is one of the reasons why we should not simply let stranger to be added on the friend list. If you can filter the friend list, there should no problem of sharing baby photos on social media but don’t forget to set the privacy to your friends only!

    Babies are the most beautiful creatures that every mum cherish and would like to share the happiness with everyone. None can ever explain the pain of delivering babies. And that, there is a saying “With great risk comes great rewards”.

    If you want to compare with the older generation, you better not say. Different people have a different ways of expressing their love. Alongside with the advancement of the technology, sharing moments on social media is so mainstream that those who did not post on social media, we find it weird. Why are you even subscribe yourself to social media if you are not interacting with others?

    Nonetheless, it is no problem to share your happiness in social media. Anyone can comment anything hurtful or good comments and it depends on you how you should handle the comments.

    That is all from me, Thank You.
