    The proposal also said, “To the extent that there is any risk, it is easily outweighed by the benefits to consumers and businesses of using this [Facial Age Estimation] method.”

    What benefits are there to consumers? Here’s one more way you can be denied access.

    There has to be zero benefits for all adults, and tbh I don’t see the big risk for minors in accessing entertainment that they’re mature enough to intentionally seek out. Content descriptions and parents communicating with their kids should cover the vast majority of use cases.

    the facial recognition does not presential a substantial risk to parents’ privacy or potential biases.

    “To the extent that there is any risk, it is easily outweighed by the benefits to consumers and businesses of using this [Facial Age Estimation] method.”

    Pretty sure only one of those statements can be true. I’d go with “there is a risk”.

    So, let me get this straight. They want to peer into the homes and bedrooms of children all over the world? Gather photographs of them? 😬

    And how do they expect this to work on a gaming PC with no camera?

    Also, their comment form says not to submit any personally identifiable information, such as your name, and yet it requires you to submit your name, and it says your name will be shown publicly for all to see. To object to a violation of my privacy, I must…allow them to violate my privacy?
