This might actually be a good idea if it's just something parents can set in parental controls so that websites and apps can check it for parental restrictions.
anything that gives parents more control over their children is a bad idea
I’d rather parents be able to block porn on their kid’s ipad than require random third party face scans with the data going god knows where for every user. Kids are smart enough to get around whatever their parents try and do anyways.
Parents are already able to do whatever they want to their children's devices with parental software. What it would allow is for websites and users themselves to flag their content as not suitable for younger viewers, which might be more useful than the ad-hoc and probably more invasive client-side parental controls. It would also be useful in certain online communities where people don't want to be interacting (especially unknowingly) with children.
Anyway, this is all a ridiculous hypothetical because it assumes the reason this is being done is not evil, which is obviously not actually true.
