    Hypothetical question: if I invented glasses that told me when people were lying, would they be accepted or would there be an angry uprising to ban them?

    edit: reminder - clicking an arrow is not an answer, it means you don’t have one.

    edit: why the douchevotes and silence on this? The only responder just deflected the question. It seems to me that taking lying out of human interaction would be a plus. Isn’t the idea at least interesting?

        A question about banning tech that invades privacy is irrelevant in a thread about banning tech that invades privacy? Okay, fair enough - I’ll move it to Ask Lemmy, where it might not hit at many hot buttons.

      Sure, if you’re asking what to write in your next fantasy novel. This topic is about reality.
