Over on another channel, a teacher is filmed butting in as a boy records himself asking a passing girl for her number. The teacher is completely unaware that the boy is recording the encounter for content — and instead interrupts the boy’s “approach,” as pickup artists call it, to shake his hand and congratulate him on his “confidence.”

    Boys using toys for exactly what Men made them for...

    ughhhhhh

    I mean why did Zuckeberg make Facebook in the first place? The throughline here is direct.

    Facebook was originally a way to connect with your grad class etc. Was there another reason?

    No Zuckerberg made it to browse through all of the hot women at his school with other men more efficiently.

    Facebook was conceived as a way to browse a web store of "female objects" easier.

    Google the history of Facebook. It's on the wiki. It's in the film.

    The film is called The Social Network.

    The soundtrack is by Nine Inch Nails.

    It was a good movie. Didn't pull any punches. (Though it could have punched harder)

    I saw it in theatre when it cost $4.25 Canadian.

    Get off my lawn.

    Everyone ever involved with facebook is an absolute cunt.

    Yeah I was going to recommend the film too, of course it is narrativized in many ways in the way big budget movies like this are, but I also think it does a better job than The Wolf Of Wallstreet at NOT making the villains unironically look cool at the end even though the takeaway is supposed to be that the villains are bad.

    This is also a decent list of stuff to check out.

    0% surprised. These should be banned (in schools but also in general).

    The correct answer to this is "Yes, I would hit a guy in glasses".

    Seems like this has a simple solution. Any student caught with these devices on school property is immediately expelled.

    Phones have cameras too. You expelling every student who owns a phone?

    1. People are not walking around with their phone cameras open 24/7 sending data straight to Meta's servers at all times. This is not something phone cameras do.
    2. Most schools already limit or ban phones in class and the punitive action varies.
    3. Being recorded by a phone is far more obvious. Perv glasses are can record you without you even knowing.

    Recording with a phone's camera is SO much more blatantly obvious, than it is using the meta glasses. these glasses have just made it wildly accessible for folks to record without consent, knowledge, etc. of the subject.

    I hope that the girls and women break them.

    I'm genuinely terrified by those... Any solution to avoid them besides looking closely at everyone wearing glasses?

    I know there are apps that try to detect them but I don't want to leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone 24/7

    In my experience, those apps don't detect immediately, sometimes only alarming beyond 5 mins after contact. I have to assume by default to save power the scans are rate limited, like with WiFi scans.

    Those apps have to be allowed to scan when the glasses are transmitting to detect them, providing limited success.

    Buried in the copy:

    The overarching problem is that the devices can be hard to spot, especially if they’ve been modified to disable their recording light. (Kids might also opt for lower-tech light blockers like cheap stickers.)

    We need better laws.

    WTF

    In one video, a student even filmed himself dropping his smartphone into one of the pouches that schools use to confiscate phones during class — suggesting that smart glasses are being used by students in spaces where teachers are seeking to limit electronic devices.

    Gee! Who could possibly have seen that coming... I mean, clearly there was no way for anyone to imagine such a possibility!! And certainly not a company who employs teams of psychologists!

    Glassholes aside -> top photo is a stock image. But I've seen lots of times where well meaning ppl try to anonymize a photo with black-bars over eyes like that, or a blur that can be reversed like spirals or w/e. Maybe that was effective long ago. Today, with such powerful FR tech, that won't do the job.

    I want to see a huge culture shift. Where we have huge peer pressure against ever u/l'ing somebody without their consent. Ever.

    Hard agree, but it's the same as just taking photos with a phone without consent of third parties, but on your face.

    Same demographic doing Epstein and Diddy jokes perpetuating the same shit that enables predators. Who could've guessed?

    Back in the day, this type of thing would result in a punch to the face.

    It would be a learning experience.

    I'm glad we have moved away from violence but nothing seems to have replaced the consequences of acting like a dickhead.

    And I'm sure teen girls will do similar to each other as well. Teenagers suck. Whataboutism sucks too, I should get off the Internet if I'm going to be a problem.
