So, let me get this straight. They want to peer into the homes and bedrooms of children all over the world? Gather photographs of them? 😬

And how do they expect this to work on a gaming PC with no camera?

Also, their comment form says not to submit any personally identifiable information, such as your name, and yet it requires you to submit your name, and it says your name will be shown publicly for all to see. To object to a violation of my privacy, I must…allow them to violate my privacy?
