jaschen comments on The Backlash Is So Strong That People With “Pervert Glasses” Are Afraid to Use Them in Public

I have it and 99.9% of the time I'm just listening to music. I only record video or take a photo of things I would have normally taken with a phone like candid photos of my kids out something interesting I want to research later.

Some of us use the glasses as intended.

Don't make some it seem like all of us are creepy. The mass majority are not.

The problem is you don't decide when your camera is running, Meta does. Even if you're not doing the creepy shit that other people are doing, it's still somewhat invasive to everyone you look at.

IDGAF, they're creepy because fucking Meta makes them and they have cameras that I garuntee they're scanning 24/7, whether you think so or not. You're a nerd for buying them and you make people uncomfortable just by having them on.

Your ignorance of the root problem does you no favours.

The world at large does not want to be part of Meta's privacy invading dataset. By wearing them and pointing that camera around, you are forcing that on everyone around you. Meta are using that camera and sucking up data at all times.

This is before we even get to the problems you allude to being accused of.

"I would have normally taken with a phone" so you recognise there is something not very normal about glasses with cameras correct? Consoomers will consoom anything they're told to.
