    so fucking sick and tired of the pervert glasses boosters.

    these things belong on people with visual difficulty, the visual description service should be free to them, and the devices restricted otherwise. it’s fucking gross that so many people think ‘you have no reasonable expectation to privacy in the public’ == creep cameras are cool.

    fyi, there are laws in most states against voyeurism - in my state that creep behavior is a felony.

    so fucking sick of the creepglass fanboys

      I could use them to document, diy content creators would get some great close up work details …hell even the OG google glasses are in wide use in warehouse logistics for their huds. There are use applications. But they’re not advertising for that. They’re advertising for abuse. And they’re getting that demographic

        do whatever you want with other consenting adults in the privacy of your home.

        No one would say shit.

        It’s the upskirt downshirt creepshot assholes, it’s the pick up artists and racist harrasment dickheads that should be beaten in the fucking street.

        I feel bad for the people with vision impairment that these could genuinely help, but instead of making an accessibility tool, meta’s chosen to make a privacy invasion tool that has some great accessibility uses, then try to use that as cover for the creeps.

        it’s all so fucking on point for the creepshow that is meta

      Strong disagree. Smart glasses will be one of the biggest tech advances in the next decade or 2 for the normal person, and I’m here for it. The awesome things that they will unlock the ability to do are almost unlimited.

      There are a million cheap, easy to get and conceal cameras that perverts have access to. There are already laws around where and when and what you can record. Smart glasses don’t make anything any easier for perverts.

      All that’s needed is a standard to be developed on how to physically cover the camera by default, and make it extremely obvious when the camera is not covered, even if it’s not recording. Shouldn’t be hard technically.

        also I suspect the shill bots have started to find their way over here too.

        eh… there are sexist assholes everywhere.

        I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as reddit was. but that’s my own experience, ymmv.
