    I don’t understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn’t exactly conspicuous at this point.

    schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there’s so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

    it feels like we’re approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren’t recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the “pervert glasses” position is intentionally obtuse
