A new piece for CNET engages with Faculty Associate Leah Plunkett's work on "sharenthood." Plunkett reflects on just how easily seemingly innocuous posts can create a digital presence that jeopardizes a child's privacy and even their safety, and encourages even parents who have already posted their children online to reconsider: "Just because you posted something and you can't fully control where it's gone, it doesn't mean that you can't do your best to reset boundaries."
