School's move to restrict 'recognisable' photos of students on social media welcomed by criminologist
A Brisbane school has restricted sharing 'recognisable' photos of students on social media to prevent image manipulation, a move welcomed by a criminologist. The school now shares photos of students from behind, in groups, or with disguises.
Brigidine College, a Brisbane independent school, has stopped sharing 'recognisable' photos of its students on social media due to concerns over image manipulation. The school's social media now shows students photographed from behind, in large groups, or with costumes. Principal Brendan Cahill said keeping students safe online was a priority, especially with AI image manipulation risks. Criminologist Danielle Harris praised the move, citing risks of child exploitation material creation and privacy breaches. She advocates for not posting identifiable photos of children online. The school's existing consent process requires parents' permission for posting images. Harris suggests using AI-generated images instead to protect children.
