Y'know, I thought about this more, not something I'm used to considering,
and children and parents definitely need to be able to decide what is
hidden in situations like that, obviously.  I wasn't thinking of the
subjects of photos still being living children.  It makes one think of
people's ability to take things off the internet, too.

There's also some value around publicising things temporarily in a ritual
way, like a viewing of a coffin at a funeral.  Then everyone is respectful.

Pretty different topic than government secrets, though.
