'Honestly, if you stop to think about it, looking at a picture of someone’s baby on the Internet—without the parents’ knowledge or consent—is completely unhinged.'

to the paparazzi, press, and beloved fan accounts, in which she asks to respect the privacy of her and Zayn Malik’s 10-month-old daughter, Khai. It’s not clear precisely which images triggered Gigi to respond, which innocuous outing led her to ask anyone who has snapped a shot of Khai to blur her face on publication. Gigi tellingly didn’t even really ask for the paps to back off completely, accepting, one assumes, that intensive press interest is part of public life.

I read Gigi’s notes app note, and rather than falling off my stool, I just sort of nodded. Just agreed. Just thought: Fair enough. Gigi’s plea is such a reasonable, un-starry request from a new parent, and I think few people would argue in favor of eroding the privacy of a baby. It feels almost depressingly obvious as a sentiment, to ask that a child isn’t caught up in the churn of the media circus, but this note is a sage reminder of how toxic our collective appetite for celebrity can be.

Celebrity tots, in the plainest of terms, act as an extension of our obsession with celebrity life. I know that sounds a little heartless, but that’s part of the way fame works; they enter some rarified space that somehow transcends the rest of us. And we’re enthralled by the private lives of public couples. We want to know more than a pap shot can reveal: what they really eat, what they’re really like. We’re especially interested in their most intimate, unpublic actions.

And I guess that’s the takeaway here. A moment in which we can be jolted from our mindless consumption of celebrity image and remember the little girl behind the celebrity parents. Gigi’s note reminds us to engage properly with the murky process of those pictures getting onto our feeds. And honestly, if you stop to think about it, looking at a picture of someone’s baby on the Internet—without the parents’ knowledge or consent—is completely unhinged.

The British press already blurs out the faces of celebrity children. The paparazzi are animals. Breaking all sorts of laws to get a photo that most forget the next day

sim, eu sou indígena e uma fotografia além de ter o mesmo valor emocional de um sacrifício tem o poder de aprisionar 'parcialmente' as nossas almas, concluindo, não queremos amora num estado catatonico
