    Lemmy really hates people posting baby pictures. Because a newborn can’t give consent. We all look like the same weird alien meatvblobs anyway when we come out, it’s not like it’s somehow identifiable. But can’t consent. I’m a bit surprised Lemmy isn’t anti-abortion for this reason.

    In fact in some jurisdictions, are minors even allowed to give such consent? If no, then you would have to remove all pictures of anyone younger than adulthood from the internet.

    For child actors, presumably it is the parents who give permission to the producers to use their child’s image. So any tv show, movie or commercial with kids should also be wrong for that reason.

      That minors can’t consent to anything, even when supported by a consenting guardian, is pretty extreme, but I kinda agree with most of what you say here.
