We know kids can take parents’ cards, right? And that people can look younger than they are? Never mind privacy concerns, the best-case scenario doesn’t look good.

Okay so couldn't I just upload any old picture of an adult? How do they verify that the picture I've sent them is actually one of me?

Or is it that they just don't care because this is a stupid law?

This would usually be more of a 3D thing. Think of setting up Face ID on an iPhone. Look straight ahead, look left, look right. A flat photo wouldn’t likely work.
