I already know your argument is weak, because I don't have the glasses and your poor assumption is that I do. I'm all for better laws to address privacy concerns, but trying to associate glasses with a camera with all perverts is just lazy and weakens any change you'd hope to make.

The change I would hope to make is impossible, so I don't really give a shit anymore.

Plus, anyone willing to give money to Meta is a write off anyway, so people also calling them perverts really doesn't bother me.

Real change takes time and effort. If you don't like Meta, then prototype some better open-source design that implements the positive changes you'd like to see. Or if you don't like that people even have a desire to have glasses with a camera, then look for root cause analysis of societal issues and try solving some of those.

The genie can't go back in the bottle. You can no more get rid Meta glasses than you can get rid of AI or nuclear weapons.
