    <.< I mean, you’re as disallowed to stick you’re face in those places just as much as you’re disallowed to stick a camera. This feels like a “think of the children” argument.

    If I stick my phone in my shirt pocket, I can record and live stream it, how is the camera being mounted to my head any different?

    Like, I get it. People are assholes, and I 100% agree that is the case. But assholes have been recording themselves doing asshole things for decades, this isn’t new behavior, and it feels like its being used to vilify tech for existing.

      your argument is garbage, ignoring the reality that hardware has - who’d have fuckin thought it - come quite a long way in last 20 years.

      also, your old glassholes were exceptionally low resolution AND didn’t have machine learning & facial recognition behind them

      people are assholes and you’re excusing their shitty behavior and defending their increasingly creepy technology

      think it’s gonna get better if we continue to ignore it?

        Fuck man, you’re right. Let’s ban cameras in general, they can be used for creepy things. Ban phones too, those can be used for creepy things.

        The tech is useful, and has potential to become much more useful in the future. Being a Luddite about the tech doesn’t solve the problem, it just ignores the assholes.

          fuck man, I am right, but your churlish hyperbole is noted, do you need a nappy?

          problem is people like you are perfectly willing to sacrifice the safety of others because you don’t give a fuck.

          Did you even read the article posted?

            The article which does nothing to suggest meta glasses were actually an integral part to this? Again, cell phone in shirt pocket. Accomplishes the same thing. Or hell, a pen cam which is a thing that’s been around for decades and is a fraction of the cost.

            The problem is that an asshole decided to ignore the “no recording” request. There are dozens if not hundreds of discreet ways the asshole could have done this, in the same way there are dozens of tools you can use to break a window.
