When I heard roblox was doing this, I asked both my kids if they uploaded their face data. They both had already. I didn't think to warn them.

Really annoyed a company can ask this of children without parental consent.

This raises an intriguing idea. The solutions will require children to upload their personal information, including photos. Like roblox.

Children are clearly not capable of understanding the ramifications of this decision. So, prompting children to upload such info should itself be illegal.

Nevermind that most adults do not understand the ramifications either, but we assume they are capable of consenting to anything by fiat, so let's ignore that...
