News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangents
Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may apply
If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

No shit. Meta? Meta, the company that wanted to design their AI to sex chat little kids to keep them hooked on the platform? The company thats been in the news for knowingly doing awful thing after awful thing? The one that makes these fucking glasses to begin with?
They're not being the best? You don't say.
The genocide enabling company? Color me shocked.
They heard of the orphan grinding machine and asked themselves "Why only orphans?"
Hah, this actually made me lol. Well done.
Stop using Instagram. It's a platform run by assholes and monsters.
Instagram Is Still Drowned in Creepy Pervert Glasses Content
I was at Best Buy recently, first time in many years. I got to see a pair in person for the first time. The things feel cheap af. Like cheap plastic sunglasses for kids. I was a little surprised.
The only correct response is shouting “PERVERT” in their face until they leave
I think they were being displayed, not worn.
You gotta call the display a "PERVERT"! Bully it out of the store! :3
Yes, they were on display. I should have clarified that I did not snatch a pair of pervert glasses off a glasshole's face and examine them.
I like it, or maybe “traitor.” If every person that passed me hissed “traitor” or “pervert” I probably wouldn’t want to wear conspicuous markers of my partnership with the surveillance state.
Some 1a auditors are wearing them precisely to get that reaction, easy content.
We should carry lasers and point them at the lenses we see in public. Maybe when these assholes go blind they'll stop assisting the surveillance state.
It's mind boggling how many people - even here on lemmy - that simp for this garbage, insisting it's no different than a phone recording (dumbest fucking argument ever) and that we're always being surveilled anyway.
Yeah, we fucking get it, creep, you don't care about your privacy. WE FUCKING GET IT. Fuck right off with your shitty fucking take.
Are they only in the US? Don't think I've ever seen them in Europe
England and Wales Courts Ban Meta Smart Glasses Over Recording Risks

Wow impressive. I thought the UK enjoyed surveiling their citizens, but maybe because Meta is a foreign entity they can't just bludgeon into getting data from, it has to be banned.
There was a recent story about a large retailer (Kmart) in Australia selling out of a cheaper brand (Anko) of pervert glasses
I should've known that by now your company doesn't have to be huge slap a camera and battery onto glasses.
