Influencer calls out hypocrisy over social media stars posting other people’s kids online but not their own – after Steph Claire Smith shared photos of friend’s children and hid son’s face

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my dismay over an influential Australian figure who’s put a spotlight on a puzzling issue. They’ve taken a firm stance against social media sensations who share photos of other people’s kids online, yet choose to conceal their own children’s faces. It’s a conundrum that leaves me scratching my head – why the double standard?

Courtney Stubbs voiced her criticism on TikTok, targeting her peers who display videos of other people’s young children while keeping their own off social media.

She mentioned that some influencers avoid posting their children’s faces online because when they are out in public with their kids, they often get recognized.

‘But I just saw this same person post a dump and it’s got kids on it and babies.’

She said, “Now those children are identifiable in public, and it makes me uneasy when my child is seen and recognized. I just don’t understand why this situation doesn’t seem logical.

Courtney continued: ‘If the parents consent, it might not be their usual setting, yet understanding your audience could produce a similar impact on their children.’

If safety is your top priority for your children, wouldn’t it be safer not to share photos of them online at all, as this could potentially expose them to potential dangers?

Following Steph Claire Smith’s Instagram post sharing pictures of her friends’ kids on their joint 31st birthday celebration on Sunday, where she concealed her own son’s visage, another video was subsequently uploaded.

The post featured images of the pregnant star posing with guests and their babies.

In addition, Steph posted a picture featuring her spouse Josh Miller and their three-year-old child, Harvey. The heart symbol was used to conceal Harvey’s face in the image.

In the spirit of transparency and maintaining our family’s privacy, I decided recently to stop sharing my son’s image on social media platforms at your requests. Previously, I was an open book online, but I felt it was essential to protect his identity and upbringing in a digital age.

‘This question comes up a lot. And quite often in a judgmental tone, not a curious one,’ she wrote.

He became noticeable whenever he went out in public with others, such as my mother, and this was something I found awkward since it wasn’t happening when I was present.

‘So it’s a decision we have made for now,’ she continued.

Each parent has the freedom to decide for themselves and even alter their decisions. If this flexibility unsettles you, then it’s a matter of personal perspective.

Stephannously, she’s now awaiting the arrival of baby number two, and she announced this delightful news on Instagram back in November.

She announced the news with a series of black and white photos on Instagram.

In the photos that her husband Josh also posted, Steph proudly displayed her growing belly while dressed in a tiny bikini.

In the caption, the influencer wrote, ‘Harvey’s going to be a big brother.’
