The ESRB has proposed a new concept to allow for better parental control over kids playing video games.

The ESRB has added:

“To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.”

Sure, ok…

I don’t know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.

    Can anybody actually remember voting for totalitarian control freaks who seem to be scared of people who are not under constant surveillance?

        While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.

      Nearly a quarter of Americans say that a strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with Congress or elections would be “fairly” or “very good” and 18 percent say that “army rule” would be “fairly” or “very good.” More than a quarter of respondents show at least some support for either a “strong leader” or “army rule.”

      A disturbing minority of human beings unironically prefer being under a boot.
