  • Netiquette: Is it OK to share pictures of someone else's kids online?

    Video - https://youtu.be/Y_OstT4vunA

    Here’s a question a concerned parent asked Avast:

    “Dear Avast, I recently hosted a birthday party for my child. 

    I want to post the photos on social media, but I'm not sure if it's OK 

    to post pictures of my kid's friends online. What should I do?”

    Avast was happy to share the correct Netiquette that should be used 

    any time you share someone else’s photo online. This is especially important 

    when the photo is of a minor child.
