I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is: Voyeurism.

This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon.

Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this?

@Em0nM4stodon Unfortunately, technology is developing faster than the law 
@ppaluchowski64 @Em0nM4stodon I wish even that were true in the US. That would imply US law is trying to catch. Instead we’re letting tech companies get away with already unlawful behavior.
@ppaluchowski64 @Em0nM4stodon in the us our laws are reactive not proactive—so until problems with impactful economic repercussions start happening there won’t be laws. The US puts profit over people
@skoombidoombis @Em0nM4stodon I live in Europe, but I try to monitor the situation in the US whenever possible. And it seems you're right: US privacy law is weak. I hope this can be changed someday 🔐

Nothing will change in America until billionaires are outlawed.

@ppaluchowski64 @Em0nM4stodon its not just the law. Technology is moving faster than our (as a species) maturity to use it although I suspect the more seedy aspects of these glasses may also be by design

They are from a company that started out as a platform for it's incel owner to sleeze over and objectify young women
