A dude wore these to a club I was at. Not easy to notice unless you’re looking for them. He was creeping on people showing skin and was a known stalker for one of the dancers in particular. Fortunately he got kicked out unceremoniously. asshole perverts will always find ways to ruin things for everyone else, but these glasses just make it way too easy.

Are they that terrible or is this mostly a corporate propaganda campaign against Facebook? We’re all on every camera and microphone pointed in our direction 24/7 already because ppl couldn’t figure out we shouldn’t turn every nation into a corporate surveillance state.

I found this morsel particularly poignant: > "Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate. > “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

Also, it will introduce: snitchonomics. Mass surveillance is here, but what if you could be an annoying little shit in the local community? Introducing: snitchonomics. Go around your neighborhood, discover discrepancies, automate your snitching and become a toadie for the local commissars. Meta: the Nazis would have loved us.

Not like meta has a long history of ignoring obvious, enormous problems theyre causing that experts keep pleading with them to take seriously. Like in Myanmar. Where it has killed an enormous number of people and the death toll keeps rising. I'm sure they'll do something this time

Please reach out to your family and urge them to stop using Facebook (or worse, any form of reels) if they still do. The onus is on the informed now. It’s not enough to just ask the tech barons to stop, we also need to divert their support.

They know. They consider it a sell-able feature.

slapping a spy device from their face is self defense, not a crime

Just need to associate ray bans with creeps moving forward. If they are too far away to tell, just assume it's a fucking weirdo in Meta glasses. Forever associate the brand with creepy weirdos, and maybe they'll rethink their strategy.

I was really interested in who the pervert experts were, but it turns out it was just human rights groups.

Bro I just want to listen to music without putting something in my ear, not be a pervert. Why do people have to ruin things.

since when do we need experts for this? what we need is laws. it's unbelievable that they're even allowed to do this shit.

I've never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye. There's fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world's gonna end. Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it's on from the nose bridge. I'd LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.

> stones in my fucking shoes it is then. Everybody says this... but I'm afraid it won't help or for very long. Gate recog algos measures physical characteristics. Things that are not changed by a shoe stone, like the length of your femur and tibia. The way your hips move as your leg does. Ratio of hip width to other measures. Things things are more fingerprint-ish like that. It's a lot like... how facial recog looks at distances between your pupils. Or the exact position of your cheekbones and structure of the face. Making it hard to fool in some ways. It can all be fooled to a degree. Anyway it's all probabilities. Maybe it works 95% and fails 5% or w/e, but that's "good enough" for advertizers and data brokers. It's all just an exhausting uphill battle :(
