There are a ton of great applications for this and other cameras. If you're a woman walking around by herself it could help prove that an assault took place, for example. The problem is that the people buying these things are the freaks, not the innocents.
"Invading people's privacy by recording them without their knowledge or consent is only wrong when a man does it."
Nobody has a right to not be recorded in public spaces. Whether that's a good thing or not I'll leave to you, but nobody in public should ever assume they have any kind of privacy while in public.
Okay, so you're pro-smartglasses and forfeit your right to complain about men being "creeps" in public. "Nobody has a right to not be recording in public spaces" "Nobody in public should ever assume they have any kind of privacy while in public." Your words, not mine. Now let's see you squirm to try to explain why actually that's not the case whenever it's convenient for you to contradict yourself.
You can't read, can you?
Apparently you can't
I'm sorry that the concept of not having privacy in public is foreign to you
What do you think this post is about? What do you think the main point it's trying to make is?
That prudes lose their goddamn mind at casual nudity and lemmings are so porn brained the idea of non sexual nudity is a foreign concept.
Snitching on yourself so hard you had to delete it within 30 minutes, I see. Good job. Slow clap.
You do not have an expectation of privacy in public and you're really fucking goddamn stupid if you behave in a way that assumes you do have any privacy. I never once actually commented about the implications of internet connected camera glasses, I said you're a fucking moron if you think you have any privacy in public. Learn to read you phenomenal twat.
Blow a few more vessels and see if it digs you out of that hole you're in
Oh you're stupid on multiple threads. Profile stalking or just that dumb? Sad little fucker.
You're the one profile stalking. You replied to me on both threads. Go fuck yourself.
No you dumb fuck I replied to the wrong thread because all you fuckin lemmings are idiots with the reading comprehension of a fucking walnut.
Sounds like projection on your part, pal
So obviously beside the point...can you not turn this into Reddit please? I don't own meta glasses or film anyone in public without them being aware. The only situation in which I would, which I've already said I don't, is if I'm alone and concerned for my safety.
And yeah men are more likely to use them for perverted reasons.
So are we gonna normalize them and say they're okay, or are we gonna say they're an invasion of everyone's privacy and shouldn't be acceptable?
Because you can't have it both ways unless you want to call yourself a hypocrite. This isn't reddit, but that doesn't mean you can flaunt your logical inconsistencies and expect no one to call you out on it.
By the way, I'm firmly in the camp of "these are an invasion of everyone's privacy," but if you wanna argue "well actually they have some uses" then I don't want to hear you crying later when someone uses it to invade your privacy. Don't be so short-sighted.
It's not beside the point at all.
