This practicality has reportedly allowed some men in Brussels to secretly record women in public spaces. You have no expectation of privacy in public places. In fact, if you’re in a public place you should assume you’re being recorded. This tech has privacy concerns for sure, but this isn’t it.

I understand how creepy this is but why is this any different than the 1000s of cameras on poles literally everywhere these days. Neither of these should be acceptable

“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.” Isn’t this all public cameras?

People keep bringing up that companies do it but at least companies want to exploit everyone equally in profitable ways. Companies aren’t human beings. It’s a lot different compared to being preyed upon by another person who might want to harm you emotionally or physically.

Who would’ve known this would happen? Everyone. Meta knew people would use it for the bad and they still decided to go on with it because money. Hope there will be a way to prevent being recorded, like some tech that disables it or something.

I honestly don’t understand why these glasses have become so mainstream

A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online. You need a tutorial to use a piece of electrical tape?
