You know it's a bad idea because it's literally what Mark Zuckerberg suggested in court the other day.

How will they know no one else is using the device? Kids use their parents devices and tablets all the time.

It's a backdoor to a national digital ID scheme.

Obviously every device will be required to have both

  1. An always on camera for facial recoog, recounting of wrinkles using AI

2.Always on microphone for voice age analysis through stress levels using AI

  1. Running the only safe and super duper secure operating system Microsoft AI.

If you don't have all three it's an automatic 3 strikes felony offense and you're sent straight to labor camps for the rest of your existence no AI needed (silver lining right? Riiiight)

Duh.
