    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.

      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?

      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.
