That will focus some minds on oversharing.

The French govement have been worrying about this for some time

I rarely share pictures of my teen now and not that often of the little ones if I do its usually with face obscured

I only have pictures of DD with her face obscured, from the back or similarly disguised. Pretty much all my friends have masses of pictures of their DC up.

I wonder if there is an aspect of wanting approval. My picture of DD on a beach recently (no face) had about a million likes while everything else I post is tumbleweed.

She had repeatedly asked them to take the photos down, and they had refused. Presumably if they had removed them, she would not have sued.
