👓 Who's Really Watching What #Smartglasses See? | EFFector 38.6

After years of tech industry experiments, smartglasses with embedded #cameras & #microphones have finally gone mainstream. And, disturbingly, sometimes it's not just their owners who are watching what these devices record. In this EFFector, we're taking a closer look at the #privacy implications of #Meta #RayBans , & sharing all the latest in the fight for privacy & #freespeech online

There are no "smart glasses".

Meta/Facebook and Ray-Ban would like you to call them that, but you shouldn't. You should call them by their proper, accurate name.

That is "creep glasses". People who wear them are "glassholes".

If you see anyone wearing them in public, you should stop what you're doing, point dramatically at them, and loudly say "Hey, this creep is recording you without your permission! He's a glasshole!" [1]. Ignore any protests of "I'm not recording!", because the tell-tale indicator is trivially bypassed, so you *have* to assume every user is recording, all the time.

Mock them. Insult them. Shun them. Make sure everyone knows they're a creep. If you know someone who has creep glasses, make sure they never, ever wear them in your presence. Warn everyone you know about them.

What killed creep glasses the last time around - remember Google Glass? - was social opprobrium. Do it again. Make it *extremely* uncomfortable to be caught wearing them in public, so they *stop* fucking wearing them in public. You want them gathering dust, in shame, in the back of a drawer somewhere. You want the creep owner to feel a deep pang of regret every time they think about them.

[1] It will be a "he". I guarantee it.

It is worth noting here the open-source #Android application "Nearby Glasses", even though it does not offer a solution to the problem.
