While there are misuses and privacy invasions, they still can be beneficial for some people. Bracket bans only harm those who can truely benefit from it (visual impaired, deaf, folks who need translations etc )

yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.
ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.

yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system
