    I have a problem with tech scanning my kids’ faces. This is weird and invasive. I will decide what is appropriate for my kids, and provide guidance where possible. Stop trying to parent my kids.

      In the article, the ESRB spokesperson repeatedly clarifies that the tech is used for parents. If a child tries to sign up for an online service, they provide a parental email and the parent takes a selfie to be evaluated and cleared by the AI.

      Still a disgusting intrusion capable of massive exploitation, but they’re not trying to get a picture of your kid.

      Seriously, everything about this can fuck right off.

      I also wanna know what the financial motivation is here. How long before this gets uses to charge a fee for every unique player that uses a game? Or will this just help with targeting ads at specific kids?
