Why would someone in their sound minds allow their kids to do some sort of facial age estimation made by a third-party vendor? Sounds like a great privacy-protection idea (/s).

You see, these companies leverage the lack of regulation regarding platforms. I'm not sure how one company would fight predatory users, but shifting the blame to parents or doing some techno-stuff to save the day won't do it.

We can already imagine a lot of problems with this approach – what if the vendor forgets to delete these pictures? It can be maliciously, or by sheer stupidity. What if the pictures leak at some point? Again, not every system is 100% safe from bad actors.

Last but not least – do we know if this age estimation algorithm works 100% of times? Are there studies that prove that predators won't find ways to crack this?

Also, kids in the same age group might also misbehave.
