Surprisingly the covert camera glasses are being used as cameras
I’m sorry, but every article that doesn’t mention the incredibly easy and widespread disabling of the light is sucking meta’s disinformation cock
Yes. I also like how you framed it. “Disabling of the light is sucking meta’s disinformation cock” is poetic.
If anyone had warned this poor retailer in advance… Unfortunately only these lunatic privacy-obsessed and hysteric women foretold this exact scenerio so there was no way to tell.
The problem with the light is, it’s incredibly small and dim, so is very easy to miss. Plus, people aren’t aware of what to look for yet because they’re not used to being around this “perv-vision”.
I saw a guy at a sandwich shop with them and he was loud and bragging about them which was the only reason I knew he had them.
I’m honestly shocked they’re allowed in Illinois being there’s the “all party consent” law still in effect where any audio surveillance or recording needs to make all parties aware they’re being recorded. Then add in the BIPA (biometric information privacy act) where you KNOW Meta is going to use face ID or facial recognition to tag or show the owner who’s who.

A Dutch tv comic has addressed this exact problem lately, by going to meta head office and filming employees with the meta glasses:
The most briljant bit: one asks him if he’s filming right now and he says:’ Well you could tell from the light right here, but it’s very easily obscured so you’ll never know’
Wait, what? I did not expect The Netherlands to sell these piece of shit stuff. I had hoped, it would be banned/ prohibited in The Netherlands. It should be.
Last time I went to The Hague, I saw a dedicated rayban/meta store in the city centre
Parliament has expressed the desire for a clearer ban on these glasses a few weeks ago

Parliament wants wider and clearer ban on camera glasses
We already have privacy legislation, and it is already not allowed to secretly film someone and share the footage. So parliament is mostly talking about making it more explicit that these camera glasses are not allowed.
They are currently awaiting an advisory on “AI wearables” by the European Committee for Data Protection, which will arrive later this autumn.
it is already not allowed to secretly film someone and share the footage.
But it’s perfectly OK to do as long as you’re the only one watching it afterwards!?
That’s how most of the world works with regards to filming in public.
“reportedly”
Hundreds or maybe even thousands or maybe even dozens. Reportedly.
