Under France’s stringent privacy laws, parents could face penalties as severe as a year in prison and a fine of €45,000 (£35,000) if convicted of publicising intimate details of the private lives of others — including their children – without their consent.
On one hand I agree when it comes to overly revealing pictures and on the other hand it seems like a bit much for just any picture. I do think parents should keep their settings to "friends only" for any personal info as well as pictures of their children but I wonder if that would matter with this new law ?
I wouldn't complain if the ones who overshare like mad dialed it back a bit but I also don't see how they can be completely avoided if you have pictures of your family.
