Meta: the Nazis would have loved us.
HOA board members are so horny for these right now.
HOA in USA is insane. I just can’t believe they are real.
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.
Nazis did love us. we’ve always been on the forefront of legalism, detention, and genocide. de toqueville wrote extensively about it
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.
Reading CRT is exhausting in many ways. How many mass graves have been dug up thus far?
Get ahead of the curve and make these illegal.
Haha laws aren’t made to benefit the population silly.
The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?
A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.
Buy a pair and follow rich and powerful people around with them. That’s how they become illegal.
Introducing House Bill 33-29-5 a.k.a. the ‘save our children from pedophiles with cameras’ bill
Legal summary
- Prohibits filming anyone with a portfolio worth higher than $500,000
- Prohibits owning a camera without a $10,000 camera license
- Legalizes whipping the shit eating worm who took video of me visiting my mistress
lol
You wouldn’t be able to get close enough to them.
How close do you need to get for facial recognition with a device that is designed to vacuum up every face it comes across? After a couple of scandals about who was out where with whom, that’s all it would take.
I kinda think kureta@lemmy.ml is right tho, it’d be hard. People like Zuck, they take private jets from here to there. They don’t fly commercial. They don’t go eat to normal restaurants with the plebs, he has high end privately catered. He don’t do his own shopping. Zuck bought 11 houses around his own mansion, for … privacy!
That goes into an observation. Zuck zealously guards his own privacy. He doesn’t want YOU to have privacy! But HE wants as much privacy as he can get.
Good points. But the plebs happen to serve these folks. Not to mention congressmen/women tend to be a lot easier to follow than billionaires. Also the paparazzi are a crafty folk being handed another tool to be sneaky. We’ll see.
True… paparazzi can get to people sometimes.
Totally with you on the idea, btw. I think the people destroying the privacy of everyone in society should feel that themselves, too. They shouldn’t get to hide behind infinite piles of money to guard their own privacy while they destroy ours.
It would be one thing if we could easily opt out. But we can’t. It’s not MY choice that puts me into this. It’s the choice of some other rando walking down the same sidewalk as me.
I think the best start would be to make it illegal to collect and retain data that would make devices like this useful.
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.
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
Like in Myanmar
It was horrific, what hapened there with Facebook. Viral rumors would spread, the Rohingya were putting sterilization pills into the food supply. People would believe it. Then they would torture or kill those the rumors were about. They would burn down their businesses and homes. There were mass scale murder and rape, whole viliages burned. Because Facebook had displaced local news. What was on Facebook became the reality for so many people. It became an anti-Rohingya echo chamber, the hate would feed on itself.
I think this effect is playing out in western democracies today. Slower, because the US, Canada, or Europe altogether, are much larger than Myanmar. The big ship turns slower than the small. But the same dynamics are here. Viral social media posts make their own twisted “reality”. It’s not just Facebook, neither. It’s lots of others too.
I don’t know how to stop it.
Gonna make Bluetooth scramblers real popular
And there’s an app called “nearby glasses” that’ll notify us when/where anyone nearby has these meta glasses active.
They know. They consider it a sell-able feature.
Perverts know what perverts want.
They have already had people on them for not stopping scam ads, they get paid by their customers so they don;t care how many of their products are harmed.
Please reach out to your family and urge them to stop using Facebook (or worse, any form of reels) if they still do. The onus is on the informed now. It’s not enough to just ask the tech barons to stop, we also need to divert their support.
Meta: “That’s the point!”
Just need to associate ray bans with creeps moving forward. If they are too far away to tell, just assume it’s a fucking weirdo in Meta glasses. Forever associate the brand with creepy weirdos, and maybe they’ll rethink their strategy.
Balaclavas will be in fashion
I was really interested in who the pervert experts were, but it turns out it was just human rights groups.
“Pervert Glasses” = AI glasses
(For doomscrollers who don’t read the articles)
well considering that most AI is used to create child porn (looks directly at Grok)… pervert glasses seems like a very good description of these “glasses”.
most
¿Is there data supporting this conclusion?
tuere is a cesspool of proof. but posting links to it would get me banned. I wanna puke after seeing how many different “legally compliant” AI either don’t have child checks… or have instructions telling you how to disable said child checks.
Hopefully this will start normalizing wearing masks in public.
Bro I just want to listen to music without putting something in my ear, not be a pervert. Why do people have to ruin things.
since when do we need experts for this? what we need is laws. it’s unbelievable that they’re even allowed to do this shit.
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.
