what about children being fed unhealthy things? childhood obesity is dangerous and also affects their mental and physical health.

let's install cameras in all supermarkets that ensure parents cannot buy unhealthy things for their children.

of course, adults can continue to purchase anything they want for "themselves". but the facial scanning in supermarkets is imperative for child safety!

This is right on the money and really highlights how short-sighted these proposals are.

We're perfectly willing to destroy our privacy for things that don't matter, but then the stuff that does, we don't touch.

Realistically, seeing some boobies on instagram is NOTHING compared to childhood obesity. Nothing. We're talking lifetime of suffering and early death versus boobies.
