To be hesitant in posting a video of my daughter dancing wearing only knikcers on FB?

I made this really cool video today when my nearly 6 year old was pretending to be a rock singer using a kid's broom as microphone. I'm not usually PFB but the video is good. Problem is, she is wearing only her knickers and I'm not sure if it is inappropriate to share with my friends and family on FB (majority of them are abroad). I have high security settings and only real/close people added...what do you think?

IneedAyoniNickname, I know how you feel, today I posted an album (people fully clothed) and my brother decided to 'share' it... I was shocked as I thought I would have to give permission for this kind of thing...and my brothers FB is on the public setting, so now EVERYBODY can see it.
This shouldn't be allowed

What is so bad about me putting post your own picture in your knickers? How is that so offensive to you that you have singled out my post twice but yet it's fine to post your dd in her knickers. don't you see the double standard?

I may have been blunt saying don't be selfish but I think you have unnecessarily over reacted to my post.

My opinion comes from being severely bullied at school by people who would use anything and everything to humiliate me. Your daughter isn't old enough to understand what posting online means so can't have a valid opinion on the subject.

Glad to see you are not sharing it.

Would YOU want a video of you in your knickers sent round to your mum's friends?

This is how I judge everything Facebook related.

I am 36 years old and I still would not want a video of me dancing in my knickers when I was 6 out on the internet for everyone to share and laugh at.

Is this really so difficult to understand? The cheeky, cute 6-year-old today is going to be a grown-up in some years, and she will have had no control over how many people see and share photos and videos of her! It is not relevant whether those photos and videos are offensive or not, it is a matter of privacy.

Just to mention that FB have changed their terms and conditions several times in the past. As a foreign company they are free to do so again at any time without getting permission from anyone.
FB is not a public service, they are in business to make as much profit as possible and that is their primary consideration.
You post private information anywhere on the web at your own risk and there are no guarantees.
