Should Make Parents Rethink Posting Photos of Their Children OnlineArtificial intelligence apps generating fake nudes, amid other privacy concerns, make \u201csharenting\u201d far riskier than it was just a few years ago.Share full articleCredit...Sisi YuBy Brian X. ChenBrian X. Chen is The Times\u2019s lead consumer technology writer and the author of Tech Fix, a column about the social implications of the tech we use.Aug. 11, 2025, 5:01 a.m. ETLast summer, my wife and I beat the odds of middle age and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Thousands of people who follow me on Instagram and other apps have yet to notice.That\u2019s not because I\u2019ve ghosted everyone. I have just opted against posting photos of my child on social media, a parenting move that is becoming increasingly popular because of artificial intelligence.Parents have debated the risks and benefits of publishing pictures of their children online for decades \u2014 about as long as photo-sharing sites have been around. But when social networks were woven into the fabric of society, \u201csharenting\u201d became the norm. Only a quarter of parents do not share photos of their children online because of concerns that online predators and companies may harvest their personal data, according to studies.But parents like me have joined the \u201cnever-post\u201d camp because of a more recent threat: apps that can automatically generate deepfake nudes with anyone\u2019s face using generative artificial intelligence, the technology powering popular chatbots.The so-called nudifier apps are simple and cheap for anyone to use, with some even offering free trials. I took a look at some of them. These apps are being widely used by students in schools, and for victims, having artificially generated nudes of them out in the wild has been as traumatizing as it would be if the photos were real. Though a new federal law makes it a crime to post nonconsensual fake nudes online, there\u2019s nothing stopping people from using the nudifier apps, which have proliferated on the web. Dozens of the nudifier sites are raking in millions of dollars a year.\u201cIt\u2019s everywhere,\u201d said Alexios Mantzarlis, a founder of the tech publication Indicator, which investigated 85 nudifier websites. \u201cAny kid with access to the internet can both be a victim or a perpetrator.\u201dIn addition to A.I. deepfakes, there are more risks to photo posting \u2014 like potentially exposing young people\u2019s sensitive personal information to bad actors \u2014 that may discourage parents.To be clear, whether or not to publish family photos is a personal choice, so this column isn\u2019t a condemnation of parents who do post. (I like seeing photos of other people\u2019s children on social media!) Instead, let this be an explainer on what to consider when posting children\u2019s pictures online.Here\u2019s what to know.The Rise of DeepfakesFake nudes of real people are nothing new. For many years, photo-editing apps like Adobe Photoshop could doctor photos into realistic-looking images. Yet because of the amount of time and skill required to create convincing spoofs, the victims tended to be celebrities.The A.I. nudifier apps have changed the game. Abusers need to visit only one of the websites and upload an image of their victim. The nudifiers often accept credit card payments or cryptocurrency in exchange for virtual tokens for producing fake nudes.The publication of deepfakes was recently deemed a federal crime when President Trump signed the Take It Down Act, a bipartisan bill combating revenge porn that included nonconsensual nude imagery and A.I.-generated fakes. Though the legislation requires social media sites to remove offending images, it does not prohibit businesses from offering the image-generating apps themselves.Social media companies like Snap, TikTok and Meta prohibit advertising of nudifiers on their apps, and some states are beginning to discuss legislation that would ban companies from offering nudifier apps. But if that happens, enforcement would be difficult because many of the app creators are overseas.To put it another way, anyone can still easily use a nudifier app on a child and keep the photos, and no one would know.One site I examined offered a free trial to digitally strip someone in one photo; from there, users could pay a subscription of $49 a month for 600 credits, or 8 cents per fake nude. The app also allowed users to create pornographic animations.Lots of people are uploading photos into these nudifier apps, which rake in roughly $36 million a year in revenue for the companies offering the software, said Mr. Mantzarlis, who based the estimate on the traffic data for a set of websites.The A.I. porn apps have been such a nuisance that Meta took action. In June, the company filed a lawsuit in Hong Kong against a developer there of various A.I. nudifier apps that had managed to circumvent Meta\u2019s ad detection technologies to promote its software on Instagram and Facebook.A Meta spokeswoman said the company also shared information about offending apps and websites with the Tech Coalition\u2019s Lantern Program, a group of companies, including Google and Microsoft, working to protect children from online sexual abuse.Yet perpetrators need to know only the name of a nudifier site to reach it through a web browser, and in schools, students are aware of the popular ones, said Josh Golin, the executive director of Fairplay for Kids, a nonprofit that focuses on protecting children from harmful media.\u201cThe teachers and the school administrators I talk to will say it happens all the time in our schools, where kids create fake nudes,\u201d he said.Though new laws could make it harder for abusers to share deepfakes with others, for many victims, the damage has already been done.Last spring, students at a high school in northeast Iowa reported to school officials that other students had used nudifiers to digitally fabricate nude images of them. Around the same time, lawmakers in Minnesota, amid similar incidents there, introduced legislation targeting companies that offer nudifier apps or websites.What this all means for parents is: Abusers could copy a photo of a child posted on your social media account and upload it into a nudifier app. Or, if they are physically nearby, they could use a camera to snap a photo of the child and then upload it into the tool.There\u2019s no way to stop someone from doing the latter, but the former situation can be avoided by opting not to publish photos of your children online.Private Social Media Accounts Are an Imperfect SolutionParents who do want to share pictures of their children on social networks can significantly reduce risk by posting the photos only on an account that close friends and family members are allowed to see. But that still has limitations. Perpetrators of child sexual abuse usually know the victim, so an Instagram follower with access to your profile could be a culprit, said Sarah Gardner, the founder of the Heat Initiative, a child safety advocacy group.\u201cJust because you have a private account doesn\u2019t mean someone you know isn\u2019t going to take your photos and do something malicious with them,\u201d she said.In one such incident about a decade ago \u2014 long before the arrival of A.I.-generated deepfakes \u2014 a mother in Riverton, Utah, discovered that photos of her children that she had shared only with friends and family on Facebook had ended up on pornography websites.Even a Birthday Party Is ExposingOther than A.I. deepfakes, there are still old-school threats to consider, like identity theft.A child\u2019s birthday party may feel like a milestone worth broadcasting on social media, but even that type of seemingly innocuous sharing could expose children to future harm.Pictures of the birthday party can reveal the exact day and year the child was born, which is information that can be stitched together with other data that hackers have collected through cybersecurity breaches to commit identity theft, said Leah Plunkett, the author of \u201cSharenthood,\u201d a book about sharing information about children online.As unlikely as that may sound, identity theft involving minors surged 40 percent from 2021 to 2024, with roughly 1.1 million children having their identities stolen each year, according to the Federal Trade Commission. (This is a good reminder for all parents to freeze their children\u2019s credit.)Why Do We Do This?Sharing some data is part of the social contract of the digital era. We share our location, for instance, to get helpful directions from maps apps. For any parents contemplating whether to post photos of their children, it\u2019s a useful exercise to ask: What are the benefits?Social media apps like Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are convenient tools to efficiently share nice photos and videos with a broad swath of people we care about. But the real benefactors are the social media companies themselves, which collect data to improve their products so they can get people, including our children, to keep using their products.Among younger people, frequent social media use has been associated with mental health issues, including anxiety, depression and feelings of loneliness, according to dozens of studies.\u201cTheir goal is not to help develop a well-rounded, healthy child \u2014 it\u2019s to make money off keeping your kids on as long as possible,\u201d said Nicki Reisberg, a former marketer who hosts a podcast about parenting in the digital age. \u201cIf they have tens of thousands of pieces of data before your child goes online, they can do that more effectively.\u201dThere are lower-risk ways to share photos of our children. My preferred method is sending photos of my daughter to a few friends and relatives through text messages, which are encrypted. Some parents share photo albums of family pictures with a small group of people using online services like Apple\u2019s iCloud and Google Photos.In the end, I\u2019m aware that this may all be a losing battle. Many schools post children on social media to show that their students are having a good time. (I\u2019ll probably be the unpleasant parent demanding that photos of my daughter be taken down.) And eventually, when my daughter grows up, she will have her own phone and decide whether to post her photos.But until that day comes, I\u2019ll do what I can by keeping her photos off the web.Brian X.
