    Evoking what the comment in question evokes over uploading pictures of your kid to the internet is not the way to convince people. It takes the thing you want people to care about and exaggerates it in a way that makes your view point trivial to dismiss.

    I say this from the place of someone who deactivated their social media accounts over similar concerns. This is not the way to convince people.
