“It’s not clear to me that a small red light would be sufficient notification in some states for someone to consent to being recorded.”

    “It’s not clear to me that a small red light would be sufficient notification in some states for someone to consent to being recorded.”

    The problem isn’t privacy laws, we’ve had laws covering recording since we’ve had recording.

    These devices make it easier to break the law and Meta doesn’t provide any guidance or warnings so it is likely that there are people unwittingly breaking the law… but the problem of being secretly recorded without your consent isn’t a new problem for the justice system.

      Anyone wearing these needs to be punched in the face for violating your privacy, then told why that happened.

      No solution for the cars yet.

        What if they’re wearing them around you because you punch people in the face for odd reasons.

          Is violating my privacy and snitching on everyone around you to an actively exterminationist fascist regime at all times an odd reason?

          I swear every .world user is gagging on a fucking boot. How do I stop seeing these fuckers? Why is that shit hole server still federated anywhere?

            Man, if you’re not a bot you really need to touch grass and get some perspective.

            You read someone making an offhand comment as if it were a statement of support for authoritarian fascists… maybe you’ve consumed enough social media.

                I think that I didn’t say anything at all in any of my comments that could be misconstrued as taking a position one way or the other.

                You have created strawman position out of thin air, assumed that I believe the thing that you just made up and then accused me of being a bootlicker because of this imaginary position that you yourself just invented.

                You’re either trying to farm outrage and division, or you’ve spent too much time in social media spaces where this kind of behavior is promoted. Either way it’s toxic and, assuming you’re a real person, you should really step away from social media.

                It isn’t normal or healthy to have kneejerk paranoid reactions to disagreements. It isn’t normal to think punching people in the face for wearing consumer electronics is acceptable behavior. These are behaviors driven by paranoia, not rationality.

                  and yet…

                  What if they’re wearing them around you because you punch people in the face for odd reasons.

                  That seems a lot like you are saying you disapprove of them but you you think a punch in the face is way over the top, right? So your problem is mostly with the offhand hyperbole of cassandrafatigue saying they should be “punched in the face”? The whole civility bit?

                  You have created strawman position out of thin air, assumed that I believe the thing that you just made up and then accused me of being a bootlicker because of this imaginary position that you yourself just invented.

                  I never accused you of anything. I asked you a question to clarify what you were saying. You seem to be confusing me with cassandrafatigue?

                  You’re either trying to farm outrage and division, or you’ve spent too much time in social media spaces where this kind of behavior is promoted. Either way it’s toxic and, assuming you’re a real person, you should really step away from social media.

                  Again, not sure what comment I made supports any of those assertions, at all. Literally the only thing I said to you was:

                  You don’t think ubiquitous surveillance is something people should get upset about? Those things will be hooked up to flock in about 5 seconds flat.

                  It isn’t normal or healthy to have kneejerk paranoid reactions to disagreements. It isn’t normal to think punching people in the face for wearing consumer electronics is acceptable behavior. These are behaviors driven by paranoia, not rationality.

                  Define normal and healthy. Would it be the ability to have simply replied to my question with something like…

                  I do think it’s worth getting upset about, just not to the extent of punching someone in the face.

                  … or some other reasonable response?

                  Anyway I’ll leave you to your faux outrage.

    I mean, if the red light is all you get, you can’t consent without already being recorded. You can’t see the light without being re4cordd, so you haven’t provided consent. I’m totally OK with consent revocation being a nice punch in the face to those wearing these surveillance devices.

    I wish I could carry around a high-power laser to point at the cameras in these glasses whenever I see them but I’d probably end up hitting their eyes instead
