I tried to opt out of letting my son's school ever post pictures of him on Facebook or other social media, as I was told was my right. Then the school called me and said that they can do that, but that they'll have to ask him to leave the room every time they take pictures, which is literally every time they do something fun. WHY Why do we feel we need to post pictures of anything on the internet, let alone kids just trying to enjoy themselves at school? I cannot express how much I despise big social media and what they've done to us as a society. Hatred of Zuckerberg should be one relatively easy thing for the right and left to coalesce around.
