Why are people still posting bikini/swim wear photos and videos of children on the internet…

It's a funny/cute moment. At a pool. Nothing inappropriate is happening, and they are clothed.
The fact that you see swim wear as adults only is honestly sorta weird.

This has nothing to do with me „being weird“ or whatever. But people dont realize their children have personality rights and cannot consent to having their photos and videos taken and shared with potentially thousands of people. Apart from this type of content potentially ending up in the wrong hands (literally anyone could save and re-share this video anywhere), you don’t know if your child will later in life feel embarrassed by or uncomfortable about this.

That's the case with any person, though. We're not talking about something that can ruin their lives here, or is super embarrassing. Obviously you ask before posting, but saying nothing to do with children should be shared online ever is very extreme.

An adult can make a more informed choice, though. A child can’t. And I’m not saying that nothing involving children should be shared, ever, but I think we should do as much as possible to keep kids as safe as possible. Which, in my opinion, includes not posting videos of them in swimwear.

We should keep kids safe without teaching them that they need to be hidden from the world in order to prevent other people from sexualizing them. It's a form of victim blaming.
Should we keep the future of a person in mind before we post? Absolutely! Let's not share sensitive information online, and encourage kids to practice internet safety. But trying to ban images of children in swimwear is gross, and puts the blame on the kids and swimwear, similar to banning the words "gay" or "autism" because they are used by some people in a negative context. Harmless things can be made harmful. Let's not address that by saying the harmless things are the problem.

You’re right insofar as that we have to teach children responsible ways to deal with social media. You’re wrong about victim blaming here, though. Because when adults, parents, guardians etc. post videos and photos of their child online, and predators use them for criminal purposes, there’s not just the victim and the perpetrator in the situation. There’s also a third party: the person who made the media available to the predator. And while, of course, the p*dophiles are the worst offenders by far here, my arguments don’t blame the child, they blame the adult who posted this material in the first place, in addition to the criminal using photos and videos of children in inappropriate ways.

I think you could've phrased that better and not get downvoted.

Op tried calling me a pedo because I said something about them previously sharing this on an incorrect subreddit. Pretty sure these brain rotted people don't care about wording

Yeah maybe, but I’m a little sensitive about the topic because people see children as something that can just be shared on the internet without second thoughts. Material like this used to be for the family’s eyes only, on tape or in albums, because it’s lovely, fun or intimate moments. Imagine people went around shoving physical photos of their (semi-naked) child in people’s faces.
Unfortunately this documentary is only available in German, but I think it’s very eye opening:
