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.

The image is then uploaded to Yoti’s backend server for estimation
“Images are immediately, permanently deleted, and not used by Yoti for training purposes.”
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.”

There’s no paradox. It says there is a risk, it is not substantial, and the benefits outweigh it.
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? 😬

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?
