I guess the idea makes kinda sense (although this technology is really bad rn and will be bypassed in a heartbeat - mark my words) but holy shit is this bad for pr. More surveillance was never the right tool for anything and it won't be this time. This a mess,and therefore perfectly resembles the state of the company.

A child consenting to facial recognition seems like a horrible way to approach this issue.
