  Are you implying that people shouldn’t be upset about the pervert glasses cameras because phones have cameras?

    Calling them that because of the camera is undercut by everyone already carrying a camera, and routinely having them pointed toward you by holding the device.

    The problem is the part where it uploads shit to corporate spy agencies, not the hardware being a tiny phone on your face. The hardware is not meaningfully different from the tiny phone… in your hand.

      I don’t know how you hold your phone but most people don’t hold them in a way where the camera is pointed towards people. In most circumstances it’s pretty easy to tell whether someone is just on their phone or is actively recording you.

  And cars have cameras and flock has cameras and ring has cameras and TVs and monitors and microphones everywhere. Its insane ppls are bitching so much about these glasses when they let Google home listen to everything inside their home. Almost like it’s being fueled by competitors, rather than actual ppl.

    I doubt it would be someone who also bought a pervert car and a pervert tv and a pervert doorbell and bugged their own home that would then bring up this problem with the pervert glasses.

    What kind of competitor are you talking about?

      Meta competitors. The fact you swallowed the “creep glasses” pr narrative and now want them banned is ridiculous giving he creepy ass shit all these companies are already doing. Like, google home is listening to all your private conversations FFS, but that’s less creepy?

        If you re-read my comment you’ll see I made no distinction between the levels of creepy in all the pervert devices.

        But, I can simplify for you: it’s true that having a company/government spy on you is expected in this day and age, but that doesn’t mean it is acceptable. Home devices can be avoided if you care for your privacy. People buying camera glasses and wearing them in public, willingly turning themselves into walking IPTV cameras controlled by one of the shadiest data scooping companies in the world, are the very definition of useful idiots.

    insane ppls are bitching so much about these glasses when they let Google home listen to everything inside their home.

    Jokes on you, i don’t have one and i removed Google Assistant from my devices lol, i also don’t see why it’s a problem to bitch about yet another camera around our streets
