>there comes a time when the state must step in.But let's not kid ourselves. Both parents and the state can make bad choices on behalf of children.

No disagreement here. But I think especially in this case (parents neglecting the privacy of a child) is only going to become more relevant.

There are plenty of parents already who put the entire lives of their children on the internet, without the children having any say or ability to realise how exposed they are. If the German state steps in here occasionally to remind parents that the privacy of their children, and their right to their own information ought to be respected I do not consider this a bad idea.

It's admittedly a very new situation that will require new frameworks.
