Cell phones can do all of those creepy things. Plus, glasses that can record have existed for many years. The only reason people are pissed is because it’s Meta.
If you ever assume I’m wearing recording glasses (I don’t really have an interest) and think you have a right to assault, I will knock your fucking teeth out right in front of your family.
If someone points a camera at you or your children, or at you and your partner at a nude beach, that is (1) much more noticeable and (b) doesn’t make it okay “because it can also do those things and have existed for many years”.
It’s not just because it is Meta. Meta is an unethical shit company, yes, but any of those US companies, or even non-US companies that use US cloud storage like AWS, fall under the Cloud Act and are therefore all untrustworthy. It is not unreasonable to think that always-on spy cameras are feeding into Palantair and other AIs or are ultimately used for ICE to track down and shoot people.
