I disagree. Secretly recording someone with a phone is much easier than doing it with one of these. It's the same issue people had with Google Glass back in the day.

I think the reason it feels creepier is because, if you're talking with someone that's wearing them, it feels like they're sticking a camera in your face.

But like I could turn on my phone camera, leave it sticking out of my pocket, and record everyone taking a piss in a public restroom with nobody noticing. If I tried to do that with glasses, I'd have to turn my head towards everyone's cock, one at a time. The neck pain alone makes it not worth the effort.

But to be clear, fuck Meta. These glasses should be banned for many other reasons.

    Agree with you for the most part.

    Though your example of a public toilet is a bit flawed, since there IS a reasonable expectation of privacy.

    Google Glass was waaaaaaaaaay more obvious.

    Where the meta ones are a little less so.

    Depending on lighting, and distance from the Glasshole, could be really hard to spot the Meta ones.

    Agreed. My friend has a pair of the meta glasses and i didn’t even realize they were meta glasses until he told me. The camera isn’t very noticeable unless you know what you’re looking for.
