Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they're actually Meta's new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.
You're viewing a single thread.
People who don't understand that they already lost their privacy years ago: "GASP, this means someone could be recording me!"
Which doesn’t make this any better of a future to live in.
"You already lost your privacy so I can go ahead and film you without your consent" is certainly a take
Have you never been to a city? You're literally being filmed all the time.
If you can get things changed, I will send you $20
Exactly what happened to Google Glass will happen to this thing so it doesn't matter. It's never going to get off the ground because most people don't like having cameras pointed at them before they're even asked. Just because cities are putting up cameras all over the place doesn't mean the public accepts them.

I'm not saying these will take off in any meaningful way, but I wouldn't be so sure the backlash will be as hard. Attitudes seem to have changed to be less concerned about privacy over time.
You know privacy isn’t just a binary thing, right?
Otherwise I’d be posting a picture of you using your phone on the toilet.
Not necessarily. I can control my devices and prevent them from spying on me.
I can install Linux on my PC and Graphene on my phone and refuse to use Google, Apple, and Meta products and services. I can choose to use local home automation products and cameras.
What I can't do is stop other people from recording me throughout my daily life and reporting my activities back to said corporations.
