How are smart glasses evil?
They’re literal always-on surveillance that can collect faces, voices and things like local Bluetooth devices or WiFi APs as they walk around.
Surveillance-capitalism wet dream, because they don’t just collect data on the wearer - but everyone they come near.
So they’re phones that people hold slightly more vertically?
So this is just a baiting/shitpost reply to achieve nothing?
How dreary.
Oooohh nooo look, that guy walking by just stole my AP point and Bluetooth information, how scary 👻! /S
They’re cameras and microphones and local compute that you don’t actually control rented from an evil corporation.
So an Android phone?
Bro do you seriously need convincing that walking eye-level cameras that record and tag every fucking person you meet on the street and feed that info to Meta is evil? Some asshole walks past you and bam, real-time geotag. Doesn’t really matter if you’re not on facebook after it gets into the hands of data brokers anyway. wtf
Do you walk around with your phone constantly in your hands, recording everything, everywhere, all of the time?
It is illegal in a good number of places to film, record, surveil people without their consent or a warrant or some kind of exceptional circumstances.

not the glasses per se, the company behind them, their design and their goals for the glasses are evil
