The only thing you’ve said is wrong is the sharing of pictures/video.

So, the problem is not the glasses, it’s not taking video with them, it’s sharing that video with others. So maybe chill out about the stuff that isn’t the actual problem.

(Not that the act of sharing is actually going to harm the subject of the video, anyway)

Some countries have the legal principle of “right to one’s own image”, and maybe you want that. But everyone here advocating violence seem to have forgotten how to do democracy.

But everyone here advocating violence seem to have forgotten how to do democracy.

A lot of changes in democracies happen following violent events. Violence is unfortunately one of the very few effective method to raise attention on an issue.

The law hardly change spontaneously.

  If you believe that the ends always justify the means you have no argument against political violence used against you except that the ends are wrong… so we’re back to square one, and fighting in the street over every political disagreement. Congrats.

    In this case, the ratio is probably of 100:1 or 1000:1 people in my favor. So if it comes down that, see you outside!

    You think over 99% of people turning up for the meta glasses street brawl are in favour of punching people for wearing the wrong glasses?

If you use a Meta smartglass, the “sharing” is out of your control.

It’s actually going to be interesting when a smartglass wearer has to explain a judge they didn’t know it was recording and uploading pictures or videos.

  Explaining to the judge in what court case? When some of the keyboard warriors here are in the dock for assault? Or for some imagined crime of “recording a video of me”?
  
  I actually don’t think Meta breaks gdpr that badly, and I know for a fact they don’t upload video all the time, because it’s not physically possible.
