Meta tells the people that buy these glasses that they "only record audio and video when you tell them to" but that turned out to be an absolute lie. It's always looking, always listening, and people shouldn't use these fuckin corpo people trackers and advertisement machines.
Yes, it's only acceptable for the state to monitor people in public.
I don't think either entities should be performing intrusive mass surveillance.
@VoidJuiceConcentrate@midwest.social @BrikoX@lemmy.zip listening, sure... just like all our phones and smart home speakers and watches tend to be these days... but what's your evidence it is always looking? I don't think that is currently the case but I certainly wouldn't rule out them doing it in the future once it becomes less of an issue for the battery life of these.
my phone ain't listening, but that's cause I use grapheneos.
as for the evidence the glasses are always watching/listening
