Here's a non-paywalled link to an article published in the Washington Post a few days ago. It's great to see this kind of thing getting some mainstream attention. Young children have not made an informed decision about whether they want their photos posted online.

Storing offline is great and all, but I hope everyone is storing on multiple disks at multiple locations....

Yer didn't think so, I'm sure photos are being lost.

Everyone loses data once before they understand how important backups are.

If only that happening once was enough to learn from our mistakes.

For some of my acquaintances, uploading to facebook or sending them through whatsapp counts as backing up their pictures.

Yep. They don't understand the down sampling.

No backup? No pity!
