  Not just women, but the children too. 

  Also, recently a guy in Sweden was busted for using them to cheat during a driver’s license test.

    To be fair, it is a threat to everyone

      Yeah but some groups of people don’t matter.

    How dumb do you have to be to need to cheat a drivers test…

      You’d be surprised. We (Driving Theory Test UK) do not allow them into our test lab. They either test without them (locked away) or do not test.

      Across our network of test centres there are usually a couple of attempts at cheating each day.

      Such as tech assisted, like Meta glasses, or fake licences, or even impersonation.

      Some people think it’s beyond them to learn and insist on cheating.

  Yeah it sucks. Did everything I could to stay off the internet when I was younger and understood this could happen eventually. I kept my kids off the internet entirely—no social media, no group photos with them uploaded, etc. But now some creep can just look in their direction and record them anyway. I know this is possible with phones as well, as I caught someone recording my youngest a few years back at great wolf lodge. It is just exhausting and it feels like there is no winning.

  Look I get all the legit reasons to dislike and distrust smart glasses, but I have always wanted an Iron Man-like HUD when looking around.

    Same, a navigator, indicator of the direction of the cars and the names of the streets… Maybe a to-do list too, that’s all I want.

  Its ok to punch someone wearing these. Its your duty to stop being friends with anyone who bought them.

  I don't deny these can cause privacy issues as does the ubiquity of small devices with high quality cameras in general but I don't think this law professor really understands the tech very well if she's worried about "nudification" in connection to these.
  
  There's nothing in particular about smartglasses that would enable such a use and they're considerably worse than a regular phone for that in every regard except for the covert picture taking. They completely lack the displays and processing power needed for it unlike, say, a phone.

    What a load of bollocks. Grok is doing this on X today, why do you think these glasses couldn’t be doing that with some programming?
