In recent days, first-time dad Justin Bieber has shared an array of images of his seven-month-old son Jack on social media.
Despite the Canadian singer being well within his right to upload parenting content, the move has sparked concern for a number of Bieber's fans.
As such, many have given the 31-year-old a stern warning of the risks of sharing images of children on the internet.
When the tot was first born (on 23 August 2024), both he and model wife Hailey (née Baldwin) opted not to share the youngster's face online, instead only showing a photo of Jack's tiny foot after his birth.

Sharing the close-up snap at the time, the 'Baby' hit-maker shared the infant's unique name in the caption: "WELCOME HOME, JACK BLUES BIEBER."
As we say, since then, however, the big-name couple have only shared a handful of pictures of their bundle of joy, all of which see his face obscured or covered in some way.
Last week, Bieber shared a carousel of new images of his son on his Instagram, writing: "ITS CUZ I AM A MANIAC that we dedicated Jack Blues Bieber to Jesus.”
While two of the images also show the musician bending over to kiss his son - which sent thousands of loving fans of the star into a frenzy - others show him with friends, Hailey, and him playing with a sound board.
The same fans have been left concerned this week, however, after Bieber shared a photo of Jack's bare bottom.
In the newest upload, the singer and his son could be seen embracing one another whilst soaking up some sun.
Whilst Bieber could be seen wearing a pair of black shorts, the toddler appears to be completely nude. Jack's face was also covered by a space invader emoji.
The father-of-one's hands could also be seen partially shielding his son's bottom from the camera.
The post has since sparked mass outrage from a number of Bieber's online followers, with many attempting to remind the star of the dangers of posting intimate photos of children online.
"What is wrong with you !!!??? Protect your kid !!!!!" one hit out in the comments.
Another wrote: "I thought I was the only one thinking this. Crazy he’s going to exploit his child."
A third continued: "It’s not covered enough! There’s no reason why he needs to post his naked baby on Instagram just a little bit covered by his hands." Others urged Hailey, 28: "Please tell our hubby to dress up our son."
Some fans brought up the subject of consent on Jack's part, with one arguing that the snap 'didn’t need to be posted'.
"Kinda pointless covering your kid’s face if you’re then going to post pics of them nude on the internet," another hit out.
