RE: Is it okay to take a photo of people?
Exactly!
That's why my photos are (almost) all people-less.
Exceptions are public events where attendees implicitly agree (opt-in) to be photographed and their photos published without them knowing about it in advance. They learn retrospectively with the message from Facebook :)
This year I will most probably face a huge dilemma. My son is growing up. He will be ten soon. He is a promising snowboarder and will need media exposure to attract prospective sponsors. Equipment, training, traveling, ... it costs a lot.
So ... we will need to sell his online privacy in order to support his potential career.
What to do? How to do it? How deep should we go into this rabbit hole?
Stay tuned for more ...

I think your son has a voice in it too. If he is that good his privacy will be gone anyway. I learned it is easier to share what you agree about as let people find out about themselves.
I wish you and your son luck and hope to hear/read more. Enjoy your day. 💕

Of course, you are right.
Good that you've reminded me I must not implicitly assume things in his name.
Yes, it will be first my son's and then a family decision on when, how and how much will we publish.
Why I forgot about his voice? Because he already lives in a world where he and his friends follow every post on FB about what their snowboard heroes do. They don't question the background and implications. They take it for granted. It's the way their world functions. We, their parents must be alert because we know the past and we think about the future.
Children don't plan things, they don't think of consequences. That's why they are still children. At least majority of them at the age of ten :)
@ervin-lemark You know your child(ren) best. Mine were/are different. Never on FB by the way they don't care and see since years what is game, made up, gossip, etc.We always talked and shared everything we did since they were very young. I worked a lot and they took care of themselves and still do. They have a very strong will and opinion.
It is hard to do what is best but good to protect them. ❤️
Then you did your parenting job very good. Congrats!
I might have been overreacting when I've said they are constantly on FB :)
We try to limit it to a reasonable level and I hope that we are succeeding so far...
Thank you very much for your comments. I do appreciate them.
@ervin-lemark I guess mine have other interests. They do no care about social platforms and I always found FB boring too.
You are welcome. Thanks for your answers. I appreciate it too. ❤️
