Sharing your life, and thereby sometimes the lifes of your children, with friends and family, only makes sense.
My concern is with parents who make no distinction between that, and posting something fully publicly. The latter means the post can go viral, or get screenshotted by a stranger and reposted as a meme somewhere with a huge audience. Or get dug up by anyone, even years later.

Having your entire infancy and childhood just out there is going to be hell for some kids. Probably already is. Imagine your parents uploading a video of you doing something dumb, but cute, something they and family find adorable. The same video which a couple years later is the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to you when it goes through a viral wave of spreading throughout your local school.
