I assume you're trying to imply in your comment that people are not going to use it if it's not easy.

It's unfortunate, but sometimes, having nice things can be a little hard. If people want to use the easiest thing under the sun, then they'll just have to accept the downsides that come with it. Sometimes, that means private companies will use private photos of people's underage children in AI training models that can generate deepfake pornography. What can you do? Convenience comes at a cost sometimes.

I'm not saying I agree with this of course, but that's just how things are in the world where all rules must follow the dollar.
