How to Protect Our Kids' Data? | Stephanie Newman | TEDxRoseburg

If you love to share about your child online, you may soon think twice about doing so. Companies (both legitimate and illegal) are sweeping and storing your child’s data from seemingly harmless social media posts. The consequences for these future adults are staggering; from identity theft to job and school applications, these children are being set up for significant challenges. Entertainer and educator Steph Newman experienced one bizarre baby identity theft that led her down a road of discovery that you must hear to help prevent your own child’s digital kidnapping. Steph Newman is a professional actor in the entertainment industry (Oregon Shakespeare Festival, New Swan Shakespeare Festival, PCPA and many other theaters). She came to Roseburg in 2013 to work as the Professor of Theatre at UCC. Mrs. Newman currently serves on the Planning Commission and gets to teach Kindergarten at Winchester Elementary.

As a business owner and host of the podcast “I Love Theatre Now What,” Steph loves the power of social media; as a mom and teacher, she despises it. After having a child, she decided not to post stories of her kid online. But it wasn’t until a year later that a surprising incident sent her down a path of discovery about this very risky practice. With unsettling data about the life-long consequences that come from getting a few “likes,” she hopes to inspire ripples of change with what she has learned. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
