"Upload your ID for every transaction to prove you're not a sex offender".

I know it's a hot-take... But how about we (Earth) ban smart glasses.
replies:
Just ban them for everyone. Pervert glasses have no legitimate use.
replies:
With smart glasses, everyone's a sex offender.
Just ban the sales of pervert glasses, period.
It'll accomplish the same thing, but be a lot easier legally.
But that's their whole demographic.
Too complicated, and requires bureaucracy to work.
Just ban that crap in public spaces.
replies:
I'd be on board if "Sex offender" only included the people that everyone seems to think it includes. However it also includes people who peed in public while drunk, people who turned to prostitution when they fell on hard times, and children who were victims themselves.
Only thing that will make both sides happy is banning them entirely, which I am 100% in favor of
(Seriously, though, look up what gets classed as a sexual offence in your area. It's not just child molestation, and sexual assault.)
replies:
A completely unenforceable idea driven by moral panic. We're already seeing plenty of cheap ones on temu, and other more covert types of cameras have been available for years. (Look up pen cameras on Amazon, you'll look at anyone with a pen in their shirt pocket very differently for the rest of your life)
Not to mention there's already open source 3d printed smart glasses. Which means this would no doubt lead to calls for ID checks to buy a 3d printer.
replies:
Rise up.
Uh oh, Mark's about to lose his glasses.
replies:
Good thing they won't be able to buy used.
/S
Buying and using, if it should make sense.
But then they won't have any customers.

Can't ever be enforced until the largest list of the most depraved sex offenders on the planet can be "permabanned"
I would agree only if the responsibility to not carry smart glasses is on the offender only, so vendors wouldn't have to check their ID, but the perp could be arrested and charged for having them.
