Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

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.

That's not what I said at all. I think they could have uses if someone is camping in the back-country, especially someone from a vulnerable group. I don't think they should be normalized. I said they're attractive, even to non-perverts.

It seems you don't know what the word 'normalize' means...

Have fun writing those regulations that somehow ban their use except for if you're camping or a minority
