Parents could reasonably expect that schools and education departments have conducted thorough checks and evaluations to do this. To some degree this is true, but a recent AI scare where children's images were used in a massive training data set included some photos from school websites.
Research also shows schools can do more to promote children's rights to privacy.
Publication of children's images and personal information on social media platforms generates a trail of information or profile of that child. This information is permanent and may have implications for children now and in the future, including on their self-esteem.
In Australia, the publication of a child's personal data, which includes images and video, is protected by the Australian Privacy Principles. This is underpinned by the Privacy Act or state and territory privacy laws.
