A sort of parent that lives in the states. I’d guess they are trying to balance datasets that are full of data where they’ve been paying fifty cents to scan children’s faces, outside of the country.
There’s nothing particularly nefarious here. Human civilization is building AI and it’s built with the best that humanity can give and the best that can be afforded.
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.
I 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.

What!?
Outside the tech/HN bubble, most companies we despise here are considered trusted.
"Google/Telus is offering us $50 for helping them out, they are so nice!" is the reasoning there.

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!"
Not every State is created equally.
