The wearers of these glasses probably don’t want that footage seen by third parties. And the contractors sure seem like they’d rather not watch it—though they risk losing their job if they decide not to label something. “You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” an employee told the papers. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”

Jokes on them, I only wear my Meta Glasses when I’m furiously masturbating.
Careful or you'll go blind!
I'm over here, buddy...
They're trying to make sure the Meta employees are too.
At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.
And they will make bank.
Maybe something similar to how microphone blockers work, flood a space with EM radiation outside the typical human visible range.
Or i think i've heard of ways to detect when someone has one of these near you (identifying bluetooth signals and such), in which case you can look around for who has glasses thick enough to hold a camera and shine a laser in their camera/eye. That could have too many false positives though.
Just flashbang every room before you enter it, just to be safe.
It would have to be strong enough to damage the cameras, if it's not to be always on.
Kenyans are watching you masturbate.
Hey. I pay good money for that.
seems a little "no duh"
