Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

There are a ton of great applications for this and other cameras. If you're a woman walking around by herself it could help prove that an assault took place, for example. The problem is that the people buying these things are the freaks, not the innocents.

    "Invading people's privacy by recording them without their knowledge or consent is only wrong when a man does it."

    Nobody has a right to not be recorded in public spaces. Whether that's a good thing or not I'll leave to you, but nobody in public should ever assume they have any kind of privacy while in public.

    Okay, so you're pro-smartglasses and forfeit your right to complain about men being "creeps" in public. "Nobody has a right to not be recording in public spaces" "Nobody in public should ever assume they have any kind of privacy while in public." Your words, not mine. Now let's see you squirm to try to explain why actually that's not the case whenever it's convenient for you to contradict yourself.

    I'm sorry that the concept of not having privacy in public is foreign to you

    What do you think this post is about? What do you think the main point it's trying to make is?

    Snitching on yourself so hard you had to delete it within 30 minutes, I see. Good job. Slow clap.

    You do not have an expectation of privacy in public and you're really fucking goddamn stupid if you behave in a way that assumes you do have any privacy. I never once actually commented about the implications of internet connected camera glasses, I said you're a fucking moron if you think you have any privacy in public. Learn to read you phenomenal twat.

    Blow a few more vessels and see if it digs you out of that hole you're in

    So obviously beside the point...can you not turn this into Reddit please? I don't own meta glasses or film anyone in public without them being aware. The only situation in which I would, which I've already said I don't, is if I'm alone and concerned for my safety.
    And yeah men are more likely to use them for perverted reasons.

    So are we gonna normalize them and say they're okay, or are we gonna say they're an invasion of everyone's privacy and shouldn't be acceptable?

    Because you can't have it both ways unless you want to call yourself a hypocrite. This isn't reddit, but that doesn't mean you can flaunt your logical inconsistencies and expect no one to call you out on it.

    By the way, I'm firmly in the camp of "these are an invasion of everyone's privacy," but if you wanna argue "well actually they have some uses" then I don't want to hear you crying later when someone uses it to invade your privacy. Don't be so short-sighted.

    It's not beside the point at all.

    That's not what I said at all. I think they could have uses if someone is camping in the back-country, especially someone from a vulnerable group. I don't think they should be normalized. I said they're attractive, even to non-perverts.
