“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”
“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”
Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.
I know this is in the EU and I’m in the US but unfortunately to keep people honest you need to be able to record them in public. It’s a double edged sword yeah people will do perverted thing but there is no perfect solution.
Why do you need to be able to record people secretly? How does secretly recording a person keep them honest?
Think about it this way - if someone pulled out a knife and started stabbing people in public, should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?
In public you have no expectation of privacy…… because you’re in public. Public and private are quite literally the opposite of each other.
You can do this with a clearly visible camera.
You know, I think Goat and his ilk should be allowed to have their secret camera glasses, but only if they’re required by law to look like this.
A lot of public camera share up on a pole or building and most people do t know it’s there. Also how do you decide a camera is visible enough.
This is like asking how we decide that your cock isn’t visible through your pants. Learn to be modest, I don’t know.
So your advocating for police to inspect everyone’s shorts to make sure you can’t see through it enough.
I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.
It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.
Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?
I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.
I’m saying you don’t get to decide what other people do in public. You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act. Just because you think someone is being rude doesn’t mean I find them rude. I don’t want the government to be able to dictate that. If you have a problem with being filmed don’t go out in public.
