Big tech has your kid’s data — and you probably gave it to them - Vox

A new report highlights the way big tech companies collect data on children.

Many parents today enjoy posting about their family on social media. But along with those adorable photos, they are sharing crucial data about their children that big tech companies are harvesting.

A recent study focusing on the “datafication” of children and its possible consequences suggests these posts may be more problematic than we think.

In late November, Anne Longfield, England’s children’s commissioner — tasked with promoting and protecting the rights of children — published a report titled “Who Knows What About Me,” which examines how big tech collects data on children and what the potential dangers can be.
