Threats to the privacy of young persons (minors) from sharenting

Abstract

In the digital age, the protection of the privacy of young persons is one of the debates that require special attention. The overexposure of personal information of minors on the internet and social networks warns of a series of risks for their privacy, integrity, rights to one’s own image and personality development. From this perspective, this article describes the importance of the right to the protection of personal data from the family practice of sharing any type of information related to minors (images, videos, etc.). Based on the concept of digital co-responsibility in the family, examples of protection are raised that specify in practice the prevention and guarantees of privacy of young persons on the web.
