SXSW 2020
A Parent's Guide to Privacy and Protecting Kids
Description:
Apps aimed at children may be tracking far more than you think. Parents are publicly sharing photos of their kids starting when they're in the womb, leading to concerns about how "sharenting" will affect the rest of their lives. This session will feature New York Times editors and contributors grappling with questions about how parents (and future parents) should approach their children's relationship with technology. We'll be discussing tactics for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.

Takeaways
- Let's face it: modern parenting is hard. Being able to hand your child an iPad makes it slightly easier. How guilty should we feel about screen time?
- One study found that nearly 1,500 images of the average child had been posted online by their fifth birthday. What are the implications of this?
- Some American schools are testing facial recognition. Others are piloting "aggression detector" cameras. Are we headed for a K-12 surveillance state?
