I think the implied meaning is that it’s a very clever question and it’s unexpected for someone so young to think of it. So it’s kind of a humblebrag that their daughter is smart.
She could definitely be smart and likely isn’t dumb, but I don’t think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.
I think it’s less about “my daughter is smart” and more about “my innocent young daughter is anxious” as a commentary on the surveillance state. Although she’s more likely in danger from faulty AI facial recognition.
That could possibly be it as well. It really depends in what tone you read the passage in and how it is interpreted. I do agree on the faulty ai; it doesnt matter how young or “innocent” you are, if they want to mess your life up, they will.
What does the age have something to do with this? Its a genuine shower thought, nothing related to age.

I’d say it’s also a commentary on the amount of CSI/NCIS type of shows that are so prevalent in entertainment media these last three decades.
Agreed, that’s why I find it weird to be bragging about the age. It could be insulting for the person, and specifically their intelligence.
