Asking family to not post pics on fb

My dad had been posting the private pics of our lo that I had been sending him onto his fb without even asking and I was so furious. We don't even post on fb (I don't even have one) and limit what we post on the Internet in general for her protection. I waited until we were at a family reunion of sorts so I could kind of explain to him why we aren't posting and to ask him not to and he acted like I was paranoid and crazy! This conversation happened last night and I am still kind of livid. He doesn't seem to understand we want her to have privacy (especially when she can't give her own consent, why do people act like babies are objects???) and insinuated that because we don't post pics of her we are making her live in a bubble. I can't be the only one who finds it uncomfortable how much people document on social media? Does a child really need to be subjected to that and have their whole life on blast from day one?? ESPECIALLY when they can't give consent to have their pic posted. I still have to have this conversation with the rest of my family for the next few days and I'm dreading it. How did everyone else who doesn't allow posting deal with this?? My family is a bunch of fb addicts :/
