@TrevfromIreland@mastodon.ie @Pinchy63@ottawa.place My wife uses them. She is blind. I agree we need to do something about people who think others have no right to privacy, but the glasses are helpful to the vision impaired.

@davidtheeviloverlord@mastodon.social @Pinchy63@ottawa.place If the glasses are helpful to your wife and others with visual impairments, then that is a great use of technology and in my own opinion is what the glasses should be used for.

@davidtheeviloverlord@mastodon.social @TrevfromIreland@mastodon.ie @Pinchy63@ottawa.place Well, the glasses should be still banned from public spaces, and people with disabilities who need them(*) as aids get special exemptions wutg glasses clearly marked so. See the precedent set by, e.g., guide dogs in spaces where pets wouldn't be allowed. (*): though the best would be to have properly regulated dedicated medical devices, not to repurpose the pricacy violating toys of some tech billionaire
