Will parenting influencers change what they share after the NCA warning?

Does anyone think any parenting influencers will heed the warning from the National Crime Agency that parents should not publicly show images of their children on social media?

The warning has been issued in view of the huge increase in child sexual abuse images created by AI using pictures of actual children( just doing normal things) scraped from the internet.

They have advised parents to only share pictures with close friends and family, check what schools are putting on public social media, make their accounts private only etc.

There are a slew of parent influencer accounts who regularly feature their children. There has been increasing general criticism of this but now this warning has been issued I wonder what will happen. I imagine many will disregard it in case their income stream is affected which I think is appalling.

Tbh I think workplaces also need to stop forcing staff to have their photos on websites and intranet directories for similar reasons (have thought this for a while).
