    I’d be shocked that parents would allow a company to video record their children. I just see this as biometric data harvesting in its infancy.

    Haha, no. There’s not a single website or service I’d accept being forced to show my face to AI that I would continue to use. If Steam required that, I would delete it from my computer.

    They can fuck all the way off with that. Maybe parents should try parenting…?
