What is the downside of her publishing pictures of herself with little clothing on a social networking site. Even if it is just friends, or even friends of friends...how far could these pictures go?
She is an adult
They are bikini pictures. They aren’t lewd and “Girls Gone Wild” type stuff, she should be ok.
But they can be copied and pasted for eternity. Luckily, girls in bikinis aren’t as coveted as um, other pics.
There’s no point in worrying about what’s outside your own control.
Everything will probably be fine, and if it isn’t I’m sure you did your best.
I can copy and download any picture on FB ..haven’t found one yet...
I have pics on FB but, I’m ugly enough they’d be afraid to d/l them or network may crash... LOL
This is what I was wondering, How accessble the pics are, Sounds like anyone who can see her site has access to copying the pics.
Good Gravy!
Brain dead?
I’d have to say completely depends on context. If she was wearing a bikini in a normal bikini setting (pool, beach, etc) then probably won’t matter, except to idiots.
Now if they were bikini pics as in “look at my body I’m in a bikini drool over me” then yea could be a problem later, unless that’s her goal in life.
Some cruel person might photoshop Sarah’s face to her body.
Jean - Why are you being so rude? A mom asked a question and all you can do is be hateful? Take your aggression out on someone else.
Chickensoup, I wouldn’t be thrilled if my daughter did that either (although mine is much younger) but I don’t think bikini pictures will ruin future employment opportunities, like drinking and partying might.
Can you just tell her what your concerns are? OR if you’re a friend on FB, go for the embarrassment factor and post chubby baby swimsuit pictures ;)
Well, for starters you should go here:http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1895740,00.html
Aside from that how many 18 yo’s keep all of their friends and acquaitances. Betrayals come only from those that have been trusted before. Dumped boy friends? On the internet you can be anyone you want to be. Are all of her web buddies people she knows in person?
All those cute personal details, cat’s names, high school, BFF,etc become data for phishing expediations to help gain access to financial accounts. Think about the security question on your bank, CC accounts.
Even worse are the predaors that use that information to get close to a target and she’ll never see it coming.
The global spread of the internet includes the ugliest places on the planet as wel las the ones comfortable to her.
Ask her if she would drive through the worst parts of your/her town at midnight with a spotlight on herself. she might get through but the license plate number is there for everyone to see.
So pictures on FB can be copied?
Absolutely.
If she’s not nude, don’t worry about it. There are about a quintillion pictures of scantily clad girls on the net.
Just make sure she understands that their is always the chance of a serial killer out there that just likes her type. Posting much about yourself on the net is never a good idea, just for general principles..
No, they can only leave them on the site as they were posted. (or they can delete them)
It is enough of my business to ask what the downside is.
Makes sense, I will try.
That boycott certainly should include Facebook.
Its founders are using their wealth and Internet reach to keep fascists like Obama in power.
She lives with dad now. I was going to put a bug in his ear about it. He has some influence.
Does she want to get a job?
Thanks
