    My friends and family are apparently saints or something, because they ask. As a matter of fact, my mother’s birthday was Sunday, and I went to visit. My sister took my picture while I was sitting with her kids and asked if it was OK to share on Facebook. I don’t know, maybe have a talk with people you are close to and set some boundaries. I’ll keep it a buck with you, I never had to bring it up with anyone, it’s just common courtesy.

      You have the most thoughtful friends and family members. But how about strangers in public places, do you talk to anyone that have their phone out in public to make sure they don’t post anything to their social media?

          Because they are all real cases that one needs to think about when it comes to privacy. And that is not even all the cases. Each additional case just acts as a highlight why your original comment is pure ignorance.
