I think it’s less about “my daughter is smart” and more about “my innocent young daughter is anxious” as a commentary on the surveillance state. Although she’s more likely in danger from faulty AI facial recognition.
That could possibly be it as well. It really depends in what tone you read the passage in and how it is interpreted. I do agree on the faulty ai; it doesnt matter how young or “innocent” you are, if they want to mess your life up, they will.
