Are they only in the US? Don’t think I’ve ever seen them in Europe

Germany too! m.slashdot.org/story/456972

Wow impressive. I thought the UK enjoyed surveiling their citizens, but maybe because Meta is a foreign entity they can’t just bludgeon into getting data from, it has to be banned.

There was a recent story about a large retailer (Kmart) in Australia selling out of a cheaper brand (Anko) of pervert glasses

I should’ve known that by now your company doesn’t have to be huge slap a camera and battery onto glasses.

They are available in Europe. There was an attempt to ban these in Germany, but it was determined that the recording LED was enough to not make this an illegal secret recording device.
Privacy and right to your own image laws still apply here. You can not legally upload secretly filmed content here, including from public places.

We should carry lasers and point them at the lenses we see in public. Maybe when these assholes go blind they’ll stop assisting the surveillance state.

It’s mind boggling how many people - even here on lemmy - that simp for this garbage, insisting it’s no different than a phone recording (dumbest fucking argument ever) and that we’re always being surveilled anyway.
Yeah, we fucking get it, creep, you don’t care about your privacy. WE FUCKING GET IT. Fuck right off with your shitty fucking take.

No shit. Meta? Meta, the company that wanted to design their AI to sex chat little kids to keep them hooked on the platform? The company thats been in the news for knowingly doing awful thing after awful thing? The one that makes these fucking glasses to begin with?
They’re not being the best? You don’t say.

The genocide enabling company? Color me shocked.

They heard of the orphan grinding machine and asked themselves “Why only orphans?”

I was at Best Buy recently, first time in many years. I got to see a pair in person for the first time. The things feel cheap af. Like cheap plastic sunglasses for kids. I was a little surprised.

The only correct response is shouting “PERVERT” in their face until they leave

I think they were being displayed, not worn.

Some 2a auditors are wearing them precisely to get that reaction, easy content.

I like it, or maybe “traitor.” If every person that passed me hissed “traitor” or “pervert” I probably wouldn’t want to wear conspicuous markers of my partnership with the surveillance state.
