No, really. A lot of people just want to show off kids to family and friends, and don't think about the repercussions of making it public on Facebook. The bulk of kid pics post there are not exploitation by the poster, they just don't know better than to trust zuck with photos of children.

Those posts aren't monetized. To monetize social media posting requires intent, it doesn't happen by accident.

And we're talking about "sharenting" which does not imply monetization at all, hence why the post I replied to was off base.
