More than 1 in 4 grandparents say their adult children have set rules about what they can share about their grandkids on social media.

A study by The Senior List, found that 75 percent of parents of children under 18 have explicit rules or general guidelines for what they share about their kids online. Irina Raicu, Markkula Center's director of internet ethics, believes parents have good reason to approach social media sharing with caution. “We are living in the age of facial recognition and deepfakes: AI tools available to anyone can now be used to identify people, including children, and one photograph is enough to create fake images and even videos that would seem real to most people,” she explained.
