3) What precautions should we take, or perhaps, what precautions do you take in the presentation/development of your family’s digital identity?
I have not put too much thought into the precautions I take in the presentation of my family's digital identity because currently it's just my husband and me. However, when I have a baby in a few months, this will be an important question to consider. Currently, I only post a few photos of myself/and or husband on networking sites. I keep them very limited. I have never considered high vs. low resolution. I think I will only use low resolution pictures to prevent what happened to Danielle Smith and her family. This is a minimal precaution I can make.
In reference to what happened to the author's daughter's photos, I think he is not letting the few negative situations that occurred hinder him from living his life in the open, like he chooses to. He is taking a proactive approach and at least starting a dialog about digital identity. For people that are adamant about not posting pictures online because of online predators, it's similar to bringing your child to a public park and a predator sitting in his car taking his own pictures of your child. It's the same violation in a different setting.
