Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not really. For the purposes of this conversation that doesn't matter at all. The only things that matter here would be can the glasses film and can anyone tell that at a glance? I don't care if the glasses can also do Google searches or some shit. That doesn't necessarily violate my privacy. What violates my privacy is someone filming, without me even having a clue they might be.
It does, because the statement that people are taking issue with:
Is objectively correct and that was the only point they were trying to make. They were not claiming that it makes filming okay or that hidden cameras are not a problem.
The people are not responding to the actual words written by the person, they're replying the the subtext that they feel was implied.
Me: makes point
Online weirdo: akshually, you're wrong. Unrelated irrelevant details matter
You: yeah, ya idiot! It totally matters cuz we said so!
Edit: checks out completely that your only post on this platform is to claim you weren't being transphobic and making a big stink about it
If you get so triggered when people point out that you're wrong, maybe you should spend more time reading a book and less time trying to be insulting.
Your comments read like you're an angsty teenager who is incapable of having a conversation like an adult.
Yours read like a libertarian from the early 2000s who is definitely okay with some heinous shit but won't own up to it. Save your projecty reading recommendations for yourself.
Did I hit a nerve, princess?
More projection. Seems I nailed it. Toxicly masculine insult and everything just to confirm.
In the US, that does not legally violate your privacy if you are in public.
You get that there is a difference in "I can tell I'm being filmed" and not, right? You get that law is behind technology sometimes, right? Not sure why there's an argument here.
You're almost always being filmed in public in many places. The courts say it doesn't matter whether or not you realize it, in the US.
So no, you don't realize either point. Cool, you're basically an intellectual brick.
The law is always behind technology. There's no gotcha here. I was just talking about the standard the law has to pass to last, under current interpretation. Lots of laws get passed and then struck down as not meeting the standard of constitutional muster. Just because someone wants to ban something doesn't mean the law will stand. Thanks for the degredation though.
There are many states that have 2-party consent laws regarding being recorded. In my jurisdiction, what the glasshole did might have been illegal. (I'm not a lawyer or judge)
Two party consent laws only apply in situations where they would have an expectation of privacy, as in not in public. Much of the whole first amendment auditing community is focused on educating people about this. State laws can't trump constitutional precedent.
