Too fucking right. Use direct action if need be and take them off the faces of these perverted creeps invading everybody's privacy.

God, I wish these things were more obvious when they were recording. There's so much cool stuff you could do with them. But no, they had to be designed for perverts.
I've honestly never wanted to own smart glasses before, but the way I keep seeing weirdos on the internet talk about them makes me want to own one just to make sure I'll never end up being the kind of person who uses the phrase "glasshole".
Secret filming isn't cool. And wearing these is now against the TOS of the con. You do you, the rest of us will have to learn to adapt it seems. But we will adapt quite quickly to glassholes, I assure you, and I don't think your life experience will improve
Hell yeah! Now we just have to ban them from everywhere else, all of the time!
I keep seeing stories about new places these gross glasses are being banned, including some minor laws about things like preventing them from being used in schools. It seems like most people don’t like these things. I think we should just start advocating for laws to completely ban the sale and ownership of these things. Their legitimate uses are so few compared to all the ways they can be abused.
Are they going to ban smarphones too?
It's much harder to secretly record someone in any decent quality with a smartphone than with a pair of glasses where you just have to look would be my guess.
That and smartphones have multiple other uses.
By law, smart phones in Japan have to have their shutter sound being hard coded on in the settings to prevent perverts from taking upskirt shoots. I'm not sure how effective it is, but it would at least prevent the casual voyeur. Looks like meta glasses have a recording light, but there are people selling hacking services to disable it and of course it's being advertised on Facebook Marketplace.
