Truly ghoulish that this mother included a picture of her child at the end of this article. The child was explicitly described as not enjoying seeing their own pictures online, and wryly telling his mother that he “never signed a waiver for his likeness to be used for promotional purposes.” What a smart kid; what an awful parent.

Yeesh, yeah. And honestly, she sounds a bit deranged and extremely naive about tech overall.

Yup, that too! I can’t imagine being so online that a walk under the stars with your kid is somehow mind-altering. Pretty sad.
