Being accidentally recorded in the background of someone's photo or video is one thing, and it happens all the time, that is fine
But we all know it doesn't end there.
These glasses allow secret recording
Of your children at the playground
Of your wife and children at the beach
Of your wife and you at a nude beach
Then all the videos will be picked up by Facebook and fed into their AI. your kids, your family, you, will forcibly be used for AI proposes, you will also be identified, your locations will be stored with it and sold to the highest bidder. Your facial expressions will be determined, what you all were wearing, what you were doing. All of it will be not used but abused to hell and back
If I see such glasses making a recording of me and or my family that will be the end of those glasses
or of a victim of violence who is just trying to stay safe.
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.
