If I ever see anyone wearing one, I will hit them in the face. Hard. And step on this shit.
Lol at the replies to this comment. Seems like you hit a nerve.
Same. Internet Karens are enabling these authoritarian times.
That’s three felonies, counting the threat
Supposing the glasses are set to filming at inappropriate situations and the wearer of the glasses doesn’t respond to friendly requests - what then?
Our reaction to such a scenario should be the same as if they were recording with their phone.
You wouldn’t turn into a blithering feral beast because someone was recording you with their phone. Why should it matter if they’re using glasses instead?
It doesn’t.
The difference is that it’s easier to spot a phone in the hands of people where they shouldn’t have it in their hands pointed at you (say public toilet, sauna, changeingroom) than glasses in recording mode pointed at you.
I can magine scenarios that escalate more easily with glasses than phones.

Sure, these glasses are a corporate surveillance state nightmare, but keep in mind, assault shouldn’t be something you consider, unless it’s justifiable.
Most places have law stating the public can be recorded freely by anyone, which is basically why these exist, so the justification needs to actually hold weight, such as being stalked or other reasons.
There’s also the fact that these glasses could be used by disabled individuals who are using them as aids, and quite frankly, assaulting a disabled person, even if you don’t know they’re disabled is a significant aggravating factor in court. You really don’t want that for yourself.
You will get your ass beat
> This Stasi shit must not get a foothold anywhere.
Completely valid. Resistance architecture is eroding.
Sure, buddy.
Isn’t there a law in places that cameras have to have recording lights? I know my Wyze has lights. Why does this not apply to Meta glasses?
Is there? Most phones don’t have any light when recording.
Sci-fi mess up not warning how every damn person would be falling over themselves to be mass surveilled and manipulated.
And yet people purchase them… so stupid.
There was a nurse wearing them inside a hospital. These stupid people are going to lose their jobs, get sued or get decked
Yeah, even if they’re being legit with them that’s WAY to easy to get accused of something.
How much of what they collect goes to ICE? Besides all of it, I mean?
When you see someone with those take out your phone and take a closeup picture of them. See how they like it…
Waiting for the X.com Glasses that connect up to my neurolink so I can view a constant feed of rightwing propaganda while the neurolink listens to my brains reactions and feeds it back to optimize for the most rage.
What’s the difference between these glasses and a dashcam? Both are around to protect yourself.
It’s hard to creep on women with a dashcam.
Protect yourself from what and at what price?
Oh, the price (privacy violation) will be paid by others - how convenient!
If anything Meta glasses endanger those who wear them…Yeah, it’s creepy and weird, but we already have cameras watching and recording your every move. I don’t see how this really changes anything.
We probably can’t stop it from happening, but we can make it very socially unacceptable, and we can make some behaviors illegal.
Never accept blanket mass surveillance simply because “we already have cameras doing this”.
I’m just saying it’s a huge genie, already out of the bottle. Good luck getting control of it now.
Take a look at all those dashcam subreddits and Youtubes and you will see that dashcams can also be problematic. There are so many videos showing random persons doing something on the street or people having medical issues. And there are also those creepy stalker sexual harassment accounts who are filming women in public with their cams
Wait, they arent (don’t have to be) designed with minimal storage for only a few seconds, only accessible after a crash?
Lol no, why would they? They’re just compact video cameras. No one is gonna spend extra money for a camera that only works in an accident.
Which is their sole reason for existence. Also, that wouldn’t fly here.
I was in an accident once. Another driver did a blind right turn into the center lane in front of me, past a stopped bus in the curb lane. There was no issue assigning fault because the bus driver had a dash cam with the ability to record on demand. If things worked like you would like, that wouldn’t be the case.
There are perfectly valid reasons to record dash cam footage other than an accident you are personally a part of. And any issues you have with dash cams could be almost as easily, if not more easily, done with another camera-based device.
In the US, you also have no expectation of privacy when out in public.
disagree. I have an expectation of not having my dick being recorded when I’m pissing in a urinal in a public washroom
Doesn’t mean the people wearing nazi glasses are any less deserving of being punched in the face
🤓: you can’t hit me I’ve got glasses on
😏: that is why I’m hitting you
I am distraught to learn that apparently smart glasses are not banned in the EU. Until now I assumed without checking that they obviously would be.
Interestingly in most of the EU, there’s is no expectation of privacy in public and you are free to record people without their concent.
Releasing or using those recordings is a completely different thing though.
You’re free to record a crowd of people in public. Once you’re pointing the camera at a person specifically, that’s a whole different issue.
It very much depends, actually. You can totally take a photograph of a single person walking on the street. Especially if their face isn’t clearly visible, like taking a photo from behind.
It would be determined on a case by case basis. Ofc even unrecognised is wrong if you actually follow a person instead of just taking a shot of a random person for art.
We are all vexed little rubberneckers. It’s a human trait.
Glasshole the term needs to make a significant comeback. Normalize shunning, put up signs on bathrooms and anywhere else you can with
“‘Smart’ glasses forbidden. Fines applicable. Bluetooth detection active.” and perhaps "This means you Glasshole ! "
whether such detection is active is moot, make the bastards as nervous as they should be. A (dummy) camera on the outside of the door should complete the illusion. Make them feel like perverts.
Non consensual filming should be unacceptable, but that’s a whole other fight.
Bluetooth detection active
Yea, I’d love to get a fine for listening to music while I shit.
You can search specifically for smart glasses, e.g. the aptly named Nearby Glasses
Also, you likely can’t fine them, but you can make them think about it.
Can I call the police on them for taking an active filming device into a public restroom?
Even if it’s not illegal, surely some shit can he stirred. I think twice after having to wait for an officer to show up, being embarrassed, regardless of how the events turn out,
conservative will make bathroom bills all about transfolk but give two fucks about the pervert recording in the bathroom.
Sounds good. Bonus points for getting it in the media.
Bluetooth devices have MAC addresses which can help tell Meta glasses apart from other BT devices.
Apparently in this case it’s a bit more complicated and you have to rely on https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/assigned-numbers/ to identify glassholes.
I’m sure the people who have them love harvesting data for AI training since that’s what they are clearly for.
Dystopian stuff. The public should be protected from this stuff.
So are smartphones, and every other tech. I am going to wait a while before getting AR glasses, so people calm down.
But with smartphones I can easily spot someone filming me, with smart glasses you can’t
How? Somebody can just pretend that they’re doing something on a smartphone, while secretly recording other people. Also there are miniature cameras that you can buy, inside what looks like a pen or USB drive, etc.
Ideally, there would could be a red light when somebody is recording, or more like a legal requirement.
