    Also, it will introduce: snitchonomics.

    Mass surveillance is here, but what if you could be an annoying little shit in the local community? Introducing: snitchonomics. Go around your neighborhood, discover discrepancies, automate your snitching and become a toadie for the local commissars.

          When I first encountered them, I thought to myself ‘this is the most communist shit I ever heard, how is this popular in the USA?’

          and then Trump came along and the answer: oh, because most fucking idiots love either bootlicking or powertripping

      Just add an arbitrary point system like they give reviewers on Google Maps and people will be beating down the door to do this.

        Oh for sure. The Nazis were in awe and inspired by the American white supremacist, because of the truly fucked up things they did to black and brown people.

      Or don’t, because we aren’t fragile ninnies unfamiliar with the concept of carrying a microphone & camera everywhere we go & easily carried away by sensational headlines for dumbasses.

          Nah, not really. When someone is holding their mobile device, we haven’t the slightest clue unless they’re overt & clumsy about it. No indicator light, either. This selective outrage is peak ninny nonsense for dullards who can’t manage a second’s thought & need fellow average brains to point this out.

              Cool ad hominem fallacy. Your lack of reason isn’t an argument. Next time try logic instead of failure.

    Not like meta has a long history of ignoring obvious, enormous problems theyre causing that experts keep pleading with them to take seriously. Like in Myanmar. Where it has killed an enormous number of people and the death toll keeps rising.

    I’m sure they’ll do something this time

      And there’s an app called “nearby glasses” that’ll notify us when/where anyone nearby has these meta glasses active.

    I’ve never completely understood what the full fuss is over the face-mounted cameras. They put high-power zooms and 50MP sensors on the back of cell phones, and nobody bats an eye.

    There’s fuckloads of recording going on. Do it with a phone? yeah fine. Do it with glasses, world’s gonna end.

    Put an indicator light on the glasses with a sensor to make sure it’s on from the nose bridge.

    I’d LOVE to replace my phone with a pair of glasses.

      Would be less of an issue if everything wasn’t uploaded and analyzed by Meta, which will eventually be handed over to the feds and advertisers. If everything was done locally and not uploaded, there’s still the problem of it being like a “spy” cam. Lights can always be taped or painted over. There’s already been cases of people doing stuff like going to massage parlors and uploading the videos. There’s been reports of Meta employees and contractors having to analyze videos of people using the restroom, dressing/undressing, having sex (I assume these people didn’t realize they were recording, or they didn’t realize others would be able watch).

    A dude wore these to a club I was at. Not easy to notice unless you’re looking for them. He was creeping on people showing skin and was a known stalker for one of the dancers in particular.

    Fortunately he got kicked out unceremoniously.

    asshole perverts will always find ways to ruin things for everyone else, but these glasses just make it way too easy.
