But when the FBI scans my face I know they have the best intentions /s

But seriously, this could be dangerous for a lot of people. Imagine someone's stalker having a hold on some of this information?

That's a great concern we should make it so all content is scanned by the government to ensure nobody can do anything bad. Think of the children.
