There have long been concerns about posting photos of children online due to fears about who can see and access them, and with new technology enabling predators to take photos and manipulate them to create sexually explicit images, the risks have increased. The NSPCC’s Childline has heard from children who have found that photos that they have posted online have been taken and altered to make them explicit. If you are posting photos online, the NSPCC recommends that you should check and use privacy settings on your accounts. Before posting any photos online, it is important to check with your children that they are happy with the image and that they are happy for them to be shared online. Images posted online can affect them now and in the future.
