You don't have the right not to be filmed in public. Do you punch every person filming in public? and if you punch someone wearing the glasses, most likely they weren't even recording.
You do in Germany, except during events/gatherings/marches.
I am aware. If the yanks want to copy it then they should
not go around punching people for violating a legal right they do not have. Your discomfort at maybe having your picture doesn't entitle you to violence.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
*Unless Facebook is the one doing the unreasonable search, and we simply buy their data
Sweet summer child
You didn't answer the question. You could just have said that you're overreacting because it's tech associated with Meta and you don't like them, even though it's basically the same as a phone, just on your face.
You think smart glasses have enough battery to record constantly? lol.
You mean you can't tell the difference between someone visibly recording you and someone recording you with a hidden camera? You feel like both of those are the same thing?
I feel like if the problem is being recorded, it doesn't matter whether it's done with a hidden or visible camera.
I feel like if the problem is being secretly recorded, you should be just as mad at bags possibly being used to xonceal a recording phone as at these glasses.
If I see someone filming me, I ask them to stop. That will escalate if they don’t.
I think what people are missing here is the intention. There’s generalised filming of your surroundings, surveillance cameras…these glasses are intended for use in a social capacity. That will move into privacy issues and perverted use.
These peoples right to use these glasses, as far as I’m concerned, does not eclipse my privacy or lack of desire to be filmed and put on Metas platforms and if I find someone using them on me they’ll be fucking told.
Uhhhh, you actually do.* I am not sure if you know, but different places have different laws.
Not in the US
and that's fucked up which is why we gotta be proactive about acting as if it is a right.
Most likely either the glasses are in a state of recording, or the wearer has no idea what it's doing. Damned! After so many scandals, people still assume Meta will do what it claims and not trick its users! Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me! Fool me 42 times, more, please MOOOOORE!
A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation involving battery capacity and power consumption puts that idea to bed.
Nope. These things can certainly take pics regularly and still last.
Recording from a camera consumes upwards of 1W on mobile platforms. With the ~160mAh battery in Ray Ban Meta smart glasses, the battery would last about 40 minutes, assuming they are doing nothing else. Given that the radio needs to be powered to upload that footage somewhere, and doing all this will keep the SoC in a higher wake state, that is a very optimistic upper bound.
I'm sorry that you and everyone who downvoted me think that hating on Meta is more real than physics.
You still fail to understand you don't need to be continuously filming to monitor what's going in front of a camera.
I didn't grasp that by "recording" what you meant was "taking a picture every so often", no.
How often, then are you saying they turn on the camera, focus and expose, capture the picture, wake up the SoC, and power the radio to send the data off somewhere?
Should be relatively easy to test this by monitoring current flow to the camera, right?
Go ahead and test yours. Repeat after each update and check if it's location and/or time dependent.
Don't have any, obviously 🙄
So, are you going to cut the conspiracy crap until you have evidence? Thought not.
Facebook introduces private messages. They're private. Ah, no! They sold these messages to Microsoft, Amazon and Huawei! -- They trust me, dumbfucks!
Facebook has all interest to work for the benefits of its users. Ah, no! They literally experimented on people to see if they could make them more depressed or more happy. -- They trust me, dumbfucsk!
Facebook has an active moderation. Ah, no! They knowingly let disinformation spread and lead to a genocide because engagement numbers were good. -- They trust me, dumbfucks!
Instagram minds kids and their sensitivities. Ah, no! They have algorithms to exploit their insecurity because engagement numbers were good, who cares if a few of them end up depressed and kill themselves. -- They trust me, dumbfucks!
Whatsapp has E2E because they value privacy. Ah, no! The app sends home a copy of the private key on demand, rendering the whole thing pointless. -- They trust me, dumbfucks.
Meta's glasses would never take a picture without their wearer's explicit consent.
Fortunately for them, some people are really really really dumbfucks to a point Forrest Gump would look like a genius next to them.
We get it, you hate the company, for a variety of reasonable and unreasonable things.
And because of that, you hate all its users and have no qualms about assaulting them.
I no longer know which thread this is because voyager isn't showing context, so if your reply was off the point I don't gonna correct you.
