"Parents, schools and clubs regularly post images of children to social media
platforms and websites.

While this may support connection with family and friends, promote school or
sports activities or celebrate children’s achievements, there can be unintended
consequences.

In its latest advice, the eSafety Commissioner notes how the rise of AI tools
has “significantly escalated” safety risks around sharing photos and videos
online.

On Tuesday, the eSafety Commissioner said it had seen a rise in reports of
imagery harvested from school social media accounts or websites being used in
AI-generated abuse.

What role do trusted adults play in making children visible online? And what
should parents think about before they post images of their kids?"
