To ask her to remove the tag?

[skying]

I try to keep my DC face and personal info off social media. We’re currently at a small holiday park (10 lodges in total) and my DSis and her family are there. She has checked us in and said family holiday etc and put the location tag. AIBU to be worried that hundreds of people might see it? I try to only post we are on holiday or somewhere after we’ve left, if I do at all. Will it be mad of me if I ask her to remove the tag? Please be honest, not sure if I’m being OTT

I would hate that. Such an invasion of privacy. I don't use social media though.

You should be able to untag yourself

Even if it may feel over the top to some people she's your daughter so family need to follow your wishes, ask her to remove the tag.

Untag yourself and set your privacy settings to unable tag or review tag then you decide if it's included. I don't let people tag me either. I find it weird that folk 'check in' on social media.

It seems a bit weird to broadcast precisely where you're on holiday with people without asking them if they mind sharing it. Some people have personal reasons and also there's a chance you could get burgled if you left your house empty.
Definitely ask she removes the tag.
If she wishes to say she's on holiday then you can't stop her but not sharing the location of multiple other people.

She doesnt have the right to decide whether you and your children are on social media or not and if you prefer not, that is your right.

This, I’ve got mine set like this so I have to review any tags.

You can easily unravel yourself, it takes seconds.

Advertising the fact you are on holiday on social media is like asking to be burgled.

Way to advertise your house is empty. 😎

Oh that hadn’t occurred to me and more someone knowing our location! Do you think that’s a worry?

It's not great if you've left your house empty. It depends how public the settings are for your DSIS's account but as a general rule, the fewer people know that sort of thing, the better.

Surely nobody is daft enough to have their social media public these days?

My parents got broken into when they announced their holiday. It's asking for trouble

Possibly not public, but all sorts of vague acquaintances and acquaintances of acquaintances might be 'friends' with the DSIS, so it isn't risk-free even if restricted.

Yes, it should be a big worry. It's advertising that your house is empty. Same with funerals.

Like, this has been known for years. You sister's being really dumb here. Untag yourself.

And there really isn't much privacy on SM. There's friends and friends of friends and stuff gets reposted and sent and just no.

It can also invalidate insurance.

@skying YANBU. I'd hate this too, feels like being in a goldfish bowl with everyone able to know and track my movements.

My next door neighbours were robbed after they put on Facebook that they were in Mexico. 🇲🇽

When I had Facebook I had it set to review my tags.

I don’t understand why people do this. No one gives a flying fuck where you are… except burglars of course

You should be able to untag yourself! Seems really silly of her to share that she’s currently away from home!

Hello, not quite the same scenario, but my son is adopted and I spend my life asking people politely to untag photographs on social media.

Sometimes people get defensive, and instead of explaining myself, I just say please can you do it I would really appreciate if you would respect my wishes.

Everyone here is making perfectly sensible comments about the fact you don’t want to broadcast your holiday. I particularly only put holiday photographs online when I have returned.

I untag myself from everything.

This. I had to change my settings after too many take from family, it makes life easier

It boils my piss that everyone some people feel the need to do this. Share their own lives by all means, but not mine thank you very much.

I would definitely remove the tag. I'm careful about what information I put on social media and who can access it. Your DSis has taken that out of your hands, and obviously without asking.
