Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t post about his kids on social media — and nor should we

Parents should adopt a rule when it comes to technology: If the individuals who created a device or social network won’t post their children on it, neither will I.
Like most Americans, you probably use social media to keep in touch with everyone from your high-school friends to colleagues, posting updates about your family, your kids’ pictures and more. But should you?
It’s instructive to look at how Facebook’s creator, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife, Priscilla Chan, use their very own social network. The last time Zuckerberg posted a photo of their two children on Facebook was Thanksgiving, more than eight months ago. Chan posted a shot at the end of April, an overhead photo of her daughter, Max, playing a game. Notably, she seems to have never publicly posted a photo of either of her kids’ faces.
Zuckerberg isn’t the only tech titan skittish about his family members’ presence online.
It’s impossible to find a single photo of Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel’s child, Hart, on his wife Miranda Kerr’s Instagram account — even though the model must be tempted to share baby photos with her 12 million followers.
Tech titans like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs famously limited their kids’ access to technology. And last year, Apple CEO Tim Cook told The Guardian: “I don’t have a kid, but I have a nephew that I put some boundaries on. There are some things that I won’t allow; I don’t want them on a social network.” (Cook’s nephew was 13 at the time.)

Now parents know more about the full scope of dangers on the Internet and the fact that a major technology company was making it easier and more appealing to turn children into sexual objects. One of those unknown unknowns is now known, and it’s hard to believe there aren’t more out there perhaps even more horrifying than this.
There are few in the world who can grasp the dangers of growing up on the Internet, and almost all of them are the architects of the technology that built it. If the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world keep their kids offline, more American parents should be taking the hint about where our children belong, and where they don’t.
