Not just women, but children too.
Also, recently a guy in Sweden was busted for using them to cheat during a written driver’s license test.
To be fair, it is a threat to everyone
How dumb do you have to be to need to cheat a drivers test…
You’d be surprised. We (Driving Theory Test UK) do not allow them into our test lab. They either test without them (locked away) or do not test.
Across our network of test centres there are usually a couple of attempts at cheating each day.
Such as tech assisted, like Meta glasses, or fake licences, or even impersonation.
Some people think it’s beyond them to learn and insist on cheating.
And get caught too…
Here’s the article if anyone’s interested (in swedish)https://korkortonline.se/en/theory-test/
Practise test. I got bored before finishing, but its pretty basic

Meta pose a threat
I don’t deny these can cause privacy issues as does the ubiquity of small devices with high quality cameras in general but I don’t think this law professor really understands the tech very well if she’s worried about “nudification” in connection to these.
There’s nothing in particular about smartglasses that would enable such a use and they’re considerably worse than a regular phone for that in every regard except for the covert picture taking. They completely lack the displays and processing power needed for it unlike, say, a phone.
What a load of bollocks. Grok is doing this on X today, why do you think these glasses couldn’t be doing that with some programming?
Its ok to punch someone wearing these. Its your duty to stop being friends with anyone who bought them.
