Summary

Nearly 92 percent of kids in the U.S. have some digital presence by the age of two. But that doesn't necessarily mean your child's face should be all over the internet. So where should we draw the line?

In this episode, which is a repeat from 2015, hear a debate about the ethics and etiquette of posting pictures of your kids online with three moms who have very different approaches:

Note to Self Host Manoush Zomorodi, who posts nothing.
Note to Self Executive Producer Jen Poyant, who posts every day on Instagram.
Longest Shortest Time Host Hillary Frank, who posts drawings and side-angles but no faces.
