The project requires that those being filmed are minors, and specifically between 13 and 17 years old. [...] During the call, the child will also need to show a form of identification, such as a state ID card, passport, or driving license if available.

Disgusting. Pretty sure this is not (only) to train AI but to populate a facial recognition database to ensure that these individuals will always be trackable by Google with the only opt-out being extensive surgery.

Parents and children are posting the kids faces on social media anyway, themselves, willingly, without compensation

These aren't just photos, they're up-to 40 seconds of video, while a Telus rep surveils the call to make sure everything goes smoothly. Truly dystopian IMO.
