I don’t even know where to start with this tomfoolery, so I’m just going to start.
The FBI wants pictures of your kids.
The #FBI Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the Bureau—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. Learn more at https://t.co/qCvDsH9h0a. pic.twitter.com/HpaUzjDz2r

I cannot think of a single entity I would trust LESS with photos and sensitive data about my hypothetical children, except for maybe like, a club of pedophiles.
OH WAIT– what’s the difference??
Not only is there a shocking number of pedophiles among the FBI’s ranks (with the threshold for “shocking” being, uh, any), which is already reason enough to chuck this entire app into a dumpster fire, but their track record of dealing with issues of child rape and sex crimes is, in a word, abysmal.
Just ask Epstein’s clients. Oh, wait no, sorry, you can’t, because the DOJ won’t release the list.
Maybe the hundreds of girls molested by Larry Nassar– including during and after the FBI’s absolutely bungled “investigation”— can weigh in?
The good news is that literally no one thinks this is anything but an absurd, tone-deaf joke. The FBI’s tweet about the app has received swift and ample backlash from all fronts and little, if any, support.
Daddy Libertarian Spike Cohen tweeted,
The people who refuse to name, much less arrest, Ghislaine Maxwell's clients would like to have your children's photos and personal info in their database.

In exchange, they'll let you look at it too. https://t.co/YEkTS3bWEF
Christina Pushaw asked the really important questions:
There is a lot wrong with this, most of which people have already pointed out… but my question is why does the FBI use iOS from 10 years ago??

In the midst of all the bullsh*ttery we’re dealing with, I guess it’s nice we can still find something we all agree on: The FBI is a freaking joke and has no business being around kids.

You expect me to trust them with anything more sensitive than the fact that I’ve got a family? Sorry, Not Happening. If I had kids (I don’t) I’d want to make sure all the photos and all the sensitive vital information was stored in a location where I had full control over who has access and when they have access!
