The simple act of sharing information, photos, and videos of children online can lead to unintended oversharing of personal data, which, in the wrong hands, can have serious consequences.
Our “Pause Before You Post” Awareness Campaign is designed to show how those risks can play out in real life, as we learn from the family’s interactions with the three “strangers”. From their social media posts, Éabha’s parents have inadvertently “shared with the world” her name, age, date of birth, photos of her friends, the name and location of her football club , her training schedule and the fact that her Dad is not always on time to collect her. We also show how easy it is for images to end up in the wrong hands, as we see our third stranger downloading one of the photos of Éabha and saving it to his phone.
