The difference is that meta glasses constantly upload to their creepy servers to do automatic face recognition.
True, but understand, every wireless-connected smart device you wear or interact with in any way is doing the same.
Meta’s nonsense isn’t unique, and should be regulated into nonexistence, but unless you’re keeping your phone in a Faraday bag you too are being constantly filmed, tracked, and snooped upon.
Alternative android OSes also not withstanding.
No, my iPhone is not doing that because they give you a switch to turn it off and encrypt anything Apple touches. It disables some handy features but it’s a worthwhile trade off in my opinion.
I’m sure that switch disables it and isn’t just a presentation. Cheers.

As does Ring, Flock, Samsung, Apple, Google and so on. Some random person with any other hidden camera can easily upload them to creepy servers and do automatic face recognition on them too.
Steve Mann en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann_(inventor) has been doing that for a long time.
