There's something ethically murky about posting your kids online. What started as parents posting their kids on Facebook to share with friends and relatives has become an uncontrollable monster. Children are not old enough to fully comprehend the possible repercussions of having a digital footprint, especially one out of their control. In an era where family vloggers and parenting TikTokers can make thousands of dollars from plastering their child's face all over the internet, it's worth questioning whether parents are too willing to exploit their kids in exchange for internet fame.
The parenting side of Twitter avoids many of these problems because it is largely anonymous. Nobody knows the true identities of One Awkward Mom or Dadman Walking, and that's probably for the best. All the fans of these parenting tweeters know are the hilarious antics of these unknown families, making parenting tweets the most elite of all family-based social media content.
