“Everything is content these days, but I think there should be a law that forbids people from using their spouses, partners, family and children as content to further their own careers. Getting engagement, trend or to get attention. Let kids be kids. Kids or children don’t have privacy anymore. Their whole life is out there online without their concern. Old people and family don’t have privacy. There is no privacy anymore. Everywhere you go someone is holding a camera or video capturing you without your concern . They make you participate in what their doing unlawfully. Some even provoke you so they can get your reactions on tape. You should not put someone online who doesn’t want to be online. This also go to pranks as well. Internet never forgets . Once something is out there. It can make their lives hard in future. Most of the things online are taken out of context and are edited to suite a certain narrative. Do your content but respect people boundaries and privacy.”

This comes into conflict all the time with those things that are mysterious. Children are much more catholic in taste; will tolerate ambiguities, peculiarities, and things illogical; will take them into their unconscious and deal with them as best they can.”
