Consent on Social Media: Does Your Parent Post Embarrassing Pics of You? - Today's Biggest News

SHOULD PARENTS SHARE PICTURES OF THEIR KIDS? Kids are always being told - be careful what you post on social media! But sometimes it's our parents social media feeds that are the problem. One celebrity's recent holiday snap has started a conversation about whether parents should be getting permission before posting pics of their kids. When you're scrolling through social media sometimes an embarrassing photo from a few years back isn't exactly what you want to see on the internet. But what if it wasn't you that posted it? This photo was recently posted by Hollywood actor Gwyneth Paltrow, the girl on the left is her daughter Apple, who wasn't very impressed. Some people don't like the idea of having a pictures of themselves uploaded, especially if they have no control over when it gets deleted. Plus, kids are always told to be careful about what they post and their online footprint because it might give away personal info like where they live or go to school. But some reckon adults should have a pretty good idea about this already. ---------------------------- IMPRESSIVE VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN MEXICO Over in Mexico people are being warned to stay away from a volcano and it's not hard to see why! The Popocatepetl volcano is spewing out serious amounts of ash, smoke and lava. Authorities are telling locals to remain alert and prepare for a possible evacuation if things keeping heating up. ---------------------- GETTING PAID TO LIE DOWN FOR TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT Ever wanted to spend all day lying in bed all day, watching TV? Well, how about doing it for two months? NASA and the European Space Agency are offering to pay people about 18 thousand dollars to do just that! It's part of a study on how astronaut's muscles and bones are affected by living somewhere with weaker gravity. Participants have to spend two whole months doing everything lying down - literally! That means eating, showering and yes, even going to the toilet. Don't ask me how that's done. ----------------------- AUSSIE SETS A WORLD RECORD FOR FREEDIVING UNDER ICE Ant Williams is a free-diver. That means he swims down really deep underwater with only the air in his lungs, no oxygen tanks or anything! It's a pretty dangerous sport and Ant has trained for years to stay safe underwater. He can hold his breath for just over eight minutes and in the ocean he can dive to 100 metres. But recently he decided to step his efforts up to the next level - trying to break the world record for the deepest ever free dive under ice. He travelled to Norway to swim more than 65 metres down below the surface. The temperatures there hover between minus 20 to minus 25 in the outside air temperature. Under the ice it is around 0.2 degrees. Ant managed to swim 70 metres down, setting a new world record! But his journey won't end there! The goal I'd like to do after this is actually to go to Antarctica. I hadn't thought it through well though so I'm assuming it can be done. If you liked that story… it's part of a short film that's coming out next year. ------------------- JUNIOR STAR WINS TAYLA KICK CHALLENGE Remember when AFLW star Tayla Harris issued the kick challenge last week?

Nice one Marlee. -------------------- LIFT OFF FOR UMBRELLA MAN A man in Turkey who was trying to help hold down a patio umbrella was a little too light for the job. The wind really picked up and he found himself lifted straight up into the air, Mary Poppins style. Don't worry, he did somehow manage to get back down. ----------------- TIGER TRIPLETS AT TARONGA And finally these tiny tiger triplets have made their first public appearance at the Taronga zoo and we know their names now too!
