Just met my first #glasshole in person Asked him why he was wearing them He said he'd "the feeling he needs them" because you can hear music with them ¯\(°_o)/¯ And saw no problem with #privacy at all - from what he'd said he didn't know the concept... Got a bit pissed that I asked him, bc he saw it as "his decision" & "freedom" to wear a piece of surveillance tech in his face How do you guys act in situations like this? Or am I too 2010ish ;)? #tech #surveilance #resistance #rayban

    @Katika@chaos.social has he not heard of the concept of headphones if he wants to listen to music. There's a range of styles and use cases none of which record video of other people without their consent or knowledge. I've got bone conducting headphones, in ear headphones, over ear headphones, noise cancelling headphones...

    @Katika@chaos.social easy. take out a camera and start recording him. then publish it. he's argued that he has the right to publish recordings of you to a 3rd party

    @Katika@chaos.social The first time this tech appeared everyone mocked them and called them “glassholes”. The social pressure seemed to work as they disappeared faster than they arrived. I’m sure doing the same will still work. Public shaming is powerful. Saying very loudly, “Hey everyone, there’s a glasshole over here recording everything you say or do and sharing it with our AI overlords!” I think most non-sadists would just take them off.

    @Katika@chaos.social "his choice" is just like all sorts of things. religion. politics. smoking. he gets his choice until it forces his choice to over-ride the choices of those around him. i'm perfectly comfortable telling someone wearing perv glasses to take them off while they're around me, just like i'd ask someone smoking near me to stop.

    @Katika@chaos.social I'd probably not even notice because that's just me but if people believe it's their right to use surveillance tech in public, I also believe it's other people's right to use things that destroy this surveillance tech, like, idk, viruses or fists

    @Katika@chaos.social Those must be banned in public because they destroy other people's human rights. I had my first contact last week: https://social.tchncs.de/@a32/116782647085944379
