This is horrifying to me.
Unfortunately much of the general public (ie. people not likely to frequent HN) don’t really understand the implications or the degree of privacy they’re giving up on behalf of their child here, for the sake of $50.

- scotty79 3y agoWhat are the implications? I'm genuinely curious.
- mmh0000 3y agoI agree with you in theory, but, it’s a pointless exercise. If those children ever get a drivers license, the DMV will turn around and sell all the personal information they collected to whoever is willing to pay. https://www.vice.com/en/article/a353kj/experts-say-change-law-dppa-driver-privacy-protection-act-stop-dmvs-selling-data https://www.vice.com/en/article/a353kj/experts-say-change-la...
- tailspin2019 3y ago> If those children ever get a drivers license, the DMV will turn around and sell all the personal information FWIW I'm in the UK - but your point still probably stands, I would assume our DMV (the DVLA) does the same thing. Neither organisation collects live video though right? There is a difference... Next step will be 3D scans... Then maybe, "hey share your child's DNA with us for $100!"
