I like how these only became a problem because Meta made them which meant a bunch of morons bought it. Hidden and pinhole cameras have been a commercially available thing for decades, even on glasses. Hell they even made one as a kids toy you could buy.

Defcon is not the place I’d want to wear something like that and make myself a target. Of course, I’d be embarrassed to wear them anywhere, but afraid at Defcon.

conference organizers said they have imposed a ban on “Meta-style glasses with recording capabilities.” Dammit. I was hoping they explicitly called them “pervert glasses” like the headline suggested.

Like, I guess I don’t understand why these damn things have a camera in the first place. At most they should be roughly equivalent to a smart watch - a display and some controls. Maybe bone-conducting headphones or something for audio. It’d be neat to have navigation prompts in glasses, for instance. Buy why a fucking camera?!
