The target audience for this product was creepy men, so color me surprised.
The fact that we as a society didn’t boycott facebook and it’s products 10 years ago makes me pretty sure our species is doomed.

Surprising no one.

Is there ANYONE in the world who didn’t know this would be a problem?
Anyone at all just thinking “Oh this is cool….voyeurism surely won’t be an issue whatsoever”?

Women are considered a natural resource for society to exploit. We exist in public, therefore men have free reign to record and harass us for their entertainment.

is there a guideline that smart glasses must look obviously different from regular glasses so people can tell ?

Amazon Vine today had dozens of light hiding stickers for these glasses. This is the worst timeline.

Let’s not forget what the original purpose of the „facebook“ was supposed to be, it was a way for college men to rate their female classmates.
You gotta think this is a primary goal from that original plan.

Known issue. Since 2000 smartphones and camera devices have an unmutable shutter click sound because creeps were creeping.

I find it interesting how these differ from the Google glasses from years ago. These glasses seem to be moderately popular and as such the anti tech crowd isn’t having the same influence as they were with the Google glasses. I wonder if it’s that these are more stylish or if it’s that the times have changed.

The guy who started a website to rank women based on their looks did this?

What a bizarre article.
They paint the victim as some kind of Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD because now she’s hyper-vigilant about being recorded because 1 man put their interaction in the internet.
The video reached 30,000 views and probably some more but I want to quote her: „Now, this is on the forefront of my mind,“ the Vancouver woman recently told *The Current* host Matt Galloway. „There’s fear, I’m not able to enjoy public spaces.“
I can’t think of the last time I’ve been in a public space and haven’t been made aware that I’m being recorded. Surveillance cameras, door bells, people walking around with their phones, someone sitting across from me while riding public transport while on their phone. All these spaces you should have long adapted to having no privacy years ago.
The article also dogs on Meta, which yeah, fuck meta, but these recording tools have been around for decades and you should really imagine what’s recording you without it being obvious. I know you’ve seen those wall outlet cameras.
So while I validate that men are typical abusers of these tools, let’s not forget that privacy is a human matter and we -all- deserve to feel safe outside our homes. If we can hound on men for being degenerates, we should be allowed to hound on people who record in gyms, locker rooms, and actual places of privacy.
This article needs to do better to service the problem, not frame blame.

I can’t stress this enough DO NOT shine a IR laser at the cameras lens because it will permeanttly destroy it.
