This was triggered by a viral video of the National Youth Service Corp member @BackhatDude who creates TikToks with his pupils.
Unsurprisingly, people had strong opinions. Many argued that posting the children online is unacceptable and infringed on their privacy.
Others pointed out that it may have negative effects on the children.

The question still remains: where do we draw the line between posting children and simply exploiting them for views on the internet?
