U.S. Government Wants Facial Scans of All Children: To “Protect” Children or to Traffick Them?
The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) of the federal U.S. Government is considering allowing businesses to use biometric facial scans of children under the age of 13 as "a new mechanism for obtaining parental consent." As the FTC noted in this press release, "Under the COPPA Rule, online sites and services directed to children under 13 must obtain parental consent before collecting or using personal information from a child." So are parents of children under the age of 13 the ones complaining about online sites collecting data on their children and petitioning the FTC to protect their children? No, businesses are the ones petitioning the FTC to allow face scans of children under the age of 13, allegedly as an "age verification" system. They claim that the images collected are "privacy-preserving", but the mere act of allowing a young child's face to be scanned "with their actual month and year of birth" means that they are stored in a database somewhere where pedophiles will now have access to that information. And those pedophiles are not just cartel members living in the jungles of far away places like Columbia. No, they are working in our government, in our nation's child welfare system in child "protective" services, in our schools and in our churches, as we have so often documented here at Health Impact News over the years. The United States today is perhaps the most dangerous country in the world to raise a child, and every parent needs to understand that their child is in constant danger of being abducted, usually by our own government, and being trafficked. What can a parent do to protect their children?
