As a concerned individual, I’ve witnessed the disturbing trend of character AI applications demanding government ID verification and face scans. This invasive practice feels predatory and raises significant privacy concerns. Despite the government's lack of requirements for such information, developers continue to push these updates, prioritizing profit over user safety.

In my personal experience, I have felt the constant threat of potential fraud, identity theft, phishing, and scams. I, along with many others, am fed up with being forced into these unwanted updates. My distress grows when I think about the impact on younger users, including my six-year-old daughter, who innocently engages with apps meant for much older audiences. Forcing ID checks and face scans on children opens the door to severe consequences such as fraud and identity theft, and it feels like a blatant disregard for safety.

This issue extends beyond personal inconvenience; it's about protecting the privacy of our community members, particularly vulnerable users like children. The demand for a change is urgent. Not only do these actions violate basic privacy rights, but they also risk putting families in legal jeopardy for something as trivial as interacting with a game app.

We need to make a collective stand against this unethical practice that prioritizes profits over people. By signing this petition, you're demanding developers remove these intrusive features that threaten our security and privacy. Let’s push for transparency, user safety, and the right to privacy in our digital engagements. Your support can bring meaningful change and hold creators accountable to ethical standards of user protection.

Join me in urging character AI creators to reconsider their strategies. Let’s ensure these applications serve as safe, enjoyable experiences without compromising our personal data. Sign this petition today to stop price gouging and maintain the integrity of digital privacy.

Seriously you can't even get a request or submit a ticket without verifying your email or something they want our id when gov says nothing about it 

Help me put an end to this selfish behavior
