I'm not claiming that we should share completely without judgement. Just that the vast bulk of things people share are easy to judge as innocuous.
The Star Wars Kid video is not a good counter-example, because it was never intentionally posted online by its creator -- it was found (on a videotape) by other people and posted, and those people knew they were posting it to make fun of it.
> Or your kid is not really popular at high school, and some other kids dig up a naked baby pic of his. Nothing special, they just circulate it all around school and make fun of him, and he feels like slicing his wrists or something.
Firstly, we're not necessarily talking about naked baby pics. The original article is about never posting any photo of their kid online.
Secondly, the kind of bullying you describe presupposes several much bigger problems that are the responsibility of the parent, and it is the behavior of parents that we're discussing.
You're looking at this from the perspective of a bullied kid who just wishes it was easier to hide. But if your kid is so emotionally fragile that having other kids laugh at innocuous baby pictures is enough to make him suicidal, you did a shitty job as a parent.
Lots of parents do, in fact, raise emotionally damaged children who are vulnerable to bullying. But it's not their photo-posting habits that really matters.
