Most countries it's legal to record in public, as there's no reasonable expectation of privacy. Though these are a bit different than say someone with a phone or camera, as unless you pay close attention the glasses are easy to miss....

    These glasses cams are small enough to no longer be visible as a camera.

    I'm all for freedom to record outside but this is a step too far as this is not me making a video for me, this is Facebook using idiots to record the world 24/7 for them.

    I'm fine with humans recording humans, immnot fine with companies recording me

    I disagree. Secretly recording someone with a phone is much easier than doing it with one of these. It's the same issue people had with Google Glass back in the day.

    I think the reason it feels creepier is because, if you're talking with someone that's wearing them, it feels like they're sticking a camera in your face.

    But like I could turn on my phone camera, leave it sticking out of my pocket, and record everyone taking a piss in a public restroom with nobody noticing. If I tried to do that with glasses, I'd have to turn my head towards everyone's cock, one at a time. The neck pain alone makes it not worth the effort.

    But to be clear, fuck Meta. These glasses should be banned for many other reasons.

    Agree with you for the most part.

    Though your example of a public toilet is a bit flawed, since there IS a reasonable expectation of privacy.

    Google Glass was waaaaaaaaaay more obvious.

    Where the meta ones are a little less so.

    Depending on lighting, and distance from the Glasshole, could be really hard to spot the Meta ones.

    Agreed. My friend has a pair of the meta glasses and i didn’t even realize they were meta glasses until he told me. The camera isn’t very noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for.
