In this article, Photo of Spanish Prime Minister's daughters highlights privacy concerns for world leaders, they talk about the privacy of children. The gist of the article is that Spain has a law that political children not be photography under the age of 18. Well with the Internet age of the new White House. The Spanish Prime Minister family and the President Obama's family took a photo and uploaded it to the State Department's Flickr page.
Well some in the blogosphere have labeled the girls as goth in the photo.
I feel there are two issue here that should be evaluated.
1. The use of sharing on Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, ect.
We need to always be mindful of what we are putting out there. People can use our images in bad ways. Examples:
Photo of Woman’s Son Used in Online Adoption Scam
2. Judging children in public.
Words hurt. So don't be calling out children on their looks. They can't offer a rebuttal.
