Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

Creepers gonna creep.

and you want them to have better equipment to creep with.

they want to hide a camera they can do it in lapel pin or something.

lapel pin cameras are shitty resolution, and you can't point them at your target by moving your head.

stop acting like it's not a problem. I'm not scared of having MY photo taken, it's the upskirts on escalators and creeps peering down blouses, you dolt.

I despise license plate cameras, but that's an entirely different kind of invasion of privacy and you KNOW this.

I know you're not concerned by some dude wearing glasses, and I can see you don't give two fucks about those who are.

At least with glasses cameras they aren’t filming anything they can’t already see
