Eh, ok. And how will this work exactly?

The glasses will record everyone, send their faces to a third party or government server...

(to check 'blur or not, of course, of course, nothing else. And then we'll delete them again - pinky promise!)

Ah yes. For privacy.

    My degoogled phone's open source camera app (with no internet access) detects faces instantly and locally

    Yes, detecting whether something is a face wouldn't be a problem. You can just just use the FaceDetect api on android.

    Thought then after you detect a face, you still have to decide - is this a face to blur? If you have some sort of database for that, you'll still have to some face identifier there to check if it's whitelisted or not
