    These glasses serve no function other than to deceive if the little light has been shut off.

    The only way meta gets away with making these is the little light being on.

    Ive seen countless videos of men trying to get it deactivated and so very few of it being refused, so yes they need to be banned or make it a severe crime to deactivate the little light.

      In Japan, you can’t disable the shutter sound on phone cameras, because weirdos were sticking them up women’s skirts and silently taking pictures.

      We didn’t do that here in America, because perversity is a human right in MAGA America.

        If you stick your phone up someone’s skirt in America, there’s a, not high, but still significant chance you’ll be shot.

        To be fair, “MAGA America” is no more responsible for the lack of a law than, e.g. Obama America. I think it’s more likely because Americans are less likely to be in close enough proximity to strangers to have up-skirt photos taken than in Japan and South Korea which do have these laws. That’s not to say we don’t have unscrupulous perverts of course, I remember a man being ejected and banned from a convention I attended because he was walking around with a phone on a selfie stick held low and beneath other people. Bizarre behavior.

        (Edit: I looked into it more, and it’s not really clear to me that Japan has any actual laws about this, I found a lot of conflicting info. It seems it may be an Industry self-regulation thing in Japan, and also you didn’t actually say anything about laws in the first place. South Korea does have relevant laws though.)

      Or, and hear me out, ban these glasses with the exception of some very specific use cases, like for blind people where I see a legit use case.
