    When Google glass first premiered, I would, every once in a while, see someone wearing them in public and almost as often see them get punched in the face by some random passerby.

    This is one of the very many reasons why I wish I was still living in New York City. I wanna see people wearing these pervert glasses get punched in the face once again.

    Arrogant, entitled assholes are not going to learn that their arrogance and entitlement is unwelcome until they get their faces bashed in about it. Repeatedly. That’s why Google glass failed: Google realized that nobody wanted to see anyone wearing their shitty shitty pervert devices spying on everyone constantly. It wasn’t that they didn’t work. It’s that wearing their devices made their users a magnet for physical violence. Meta believes that they are immune to this consequence, and the public at large needs to remind them that THEY ARE NOT.

    EDIT: I am not advocating violence, I am just serving a public reminder that acting like a disgusting pervert in public has consequences, and very well deserved consequences at that.
