Sharenting: Boundaries of privacy and the public life of the family

Abstract

The entire article is about the phenomenon of sharenting. This is the practice of sharing photos, videos and private information about children on social media, which is currently gaining popularity in the digital age. However, this can lead to negative consequences, especially for the safety of children. Publishing private moments of children's lives without their consent can lead to identity theft, cyberbullying and loss of image control. Furthermore, the commercialisation of sharenting raises serious concerns. When parents monetise the sharing of their children's images, there is a risk of instrumentalisation of minors and negative psychological effects due to lack of privacy and public pressure. This is why it is important to do as much research as possible in this area and to develop education on the subject, so that parents are more knowledgeable about being a parent and educating children about their rights and assertiveness.
