Facial Scans & IDs for Kids—Think Before You Agree


Listen Later

Roblox just rolled out age verification THIS week, and it could put your child’s personal data at risk.


If you’re a parent, you need to know what this really means—and why you don’t have to hand over your child’s face or ID to use any app. Governments and platforms are claiming these systems protect kids, but what they’re really doing is creating massive databases of children’s IDs and biometric data.


And those databases are getting hacked.


Last month, Discord’s age verification vendor was breached and 70,000 government IDs were stolen, including kids’ documents. Now Roblox is requiring facial age estimation or government ID to use chat, sending that data to a third-party vendor.


We can say NO.

You do NOT have to hand over your child’s face or your family’s IDs to use an app.


I know this video is long, but it’s important for every parent to understand what’s happening. Please share this and help other families stay informed.
