facebook knowing my personal information against my will goes against my right to privacy. there are also the ethics of recording people in secret instead of making it very obvious. no, a blinking red dot does not count, and it can also be covered with a special purpose-made made black sticker.

now that i think about it, I'm just not comfortable being filmed without consent by strangers at all, in any way, regardless of where the images end up.

i don't think people should get used to it either. it's incredibly creepy, even if no law is broken where you live.

and yes, i do understand that in many places just being in public reduces your right to privacy so that you're legally allowed to be photographed as long as you're not the focus. i don't care. still creepy.

Gee.. try hanging out at a playground with these glasses and get back to us.

Quite many when used anywhere except in public space.

Funny how people think they have a "right" of privacy in public.. there is absolutely no expectation of privacy in public. Besides, there are cameras EVERYWHERE always filming.

You do in Germany, except during events/gatherings/marches.

If I see someone filming me, I ask them to stop. That will escalate if they don’t.

I think what people are missing here is the intention. There’s generalised filming of your surroundings, surveillance cameras…these glasses are intended for use in a social capacity. That will move into privacy issues and perverted use.

These peoples right to use these glasses, as far as I’m concerned, does not eclipse my privacy or lack of desire to be filmed and put on Metas platforms and if I find someone using them on me they’ll be fucking told.

most likely they weren't even recording.

Sweet summer child

Most likely either the glasses are in a state of recording, or the wearer has no idea what it's doing. Damned! After so many scandals, people still assume Meta will do what it claims and not trick its users! Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! Fool me 42 times, more, please MOOOOORE!

You don't have the right not to be filmed in public.

Uhhhh, you actually do.* I am not sure if you know, but different places have different laws.

People with legal issues, immigration issues or violent exes will absolutely dip if they see someone recording. I have none of these problems and I will always avoid gettIng recorded by randos if it’s easy to do so. I can’t reasonably avoid every Ring cam in my neighborhood but I will happily slide 10 feet to the left to avoid becoming collateral damage in some dbags insta reel.

When you say "fascist", you do realize that fascism involves crowd control and these glasses are a dream for a fascist regime? All the speech about "cameras everywhere is ok" falls right in the authoritarianism thinking, that's just a step from fascism.

This account ^ is going very far out of its way to make very bad points and overlook obvious gaping privacy violations, which are things that can be both identified and stopped.

The takeaway of massively privacy invading glasses is they can always be stopped at both the individual and the systemic level.

I think the real problem is that you don't seem to realize/care how gross and rapey you sound. That's... maybe something to work on.

This may be perfectly legal but it is absolutely a dick move and people will HATE you for it. The are so many scenarios where perfectly reasonable people will find this behavior extremely unsettling, at best, and possibly threatening.

And you are incorrect in assuming that “there would be nothing [the subject] can do about it “. In the real world there are plenty of people who will risk an assault charge to deal with someone being a disrespectful dick, and many more who will act if they feel threatened.

Now, might doesn’t make right, but are you right? Going against social norms and risking extrajudicial retaliation to fight injustice is commendable. But this isn’t sitting at a lunch counter during segregation or protesting at Stonewall. In a world where 1 in 3 women will be stalked in her lifetime ( in the US according to the Justice Department), why is this the hill you want to die upon?

Its not. I wish we lived in a world where we could be trusted with things like this, but we dont.

I really want a camera on my face and a HUD so I can live life more like a video game with screenshots, but we as a species have shown time and time again that we can't behave.

Id rather nobody have one.

How is it illogical if it worked? It might be immoral, but there's a clear through-line of cause and effect.

Humans are illogical in most cases. It's something you have to put up with when living in a society.

You can make the claim that it's immoral or something, but you cannot claim it's illogical.

Amid a second Trump presidency that is going very poorly is truly a wild time to start crowing about a person's rightful freedom to be dumb on purpose.

nothing is being dictated. surveillance is violence. if you harm me, maybe i will reduce that harm, also using violence. fuck around and find out logic.

Surveillance is a form of violence that those wearing the glasses are imposing on us.

If you wear this, you're an agent of the gestapo.

A loser

The reason it's wrong is because the device filming is sending data to police and corporations, who frequently abuse the law. People do not have a problem with you using any other camera, such as a phone or camcorder. The problem is the specific device, not filming in general.

Why do you assume it is only happening in public? Since it is hidden cameras, in glasses, they can be recording anywhere (and even if the user hasn't asked them to record explicitly, they are probably sending data back to their servers anyway - we know they have been doing that with microphones for literal decades already).

People have said: facebook analytics, ICE tracking, and a general discomfort with being 'seen' always. You won't accept any of these because you are a corporate tool.

I protest against this for the same reason I would protest against the government flying tens of thousands of drones around the city to track every person's whereabouts and location history. Facebook gives the police unfettered access to their information. It's like a Ring doorbell, but dumber looking and it moves around.

If you're sitting next to me with these fuckass glasses on, then you are giving the government live video feed of me. The only difference between this and a drone that's personally following me is that technically, this doesn't violate the Fourth Amendment because the government isn't the one sending a mindless drone after me with a camera, Facebook is. It's only technically not a violation of my right to privacy, in the same way that deporting people for saying "from the river to the sea" is only technically not a violation of the First Amendment.
