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?

It was "public outrage" that killed goofle glass.
There seems none of that now.

@labbatt50 @Em0nM4stodon sadly these are incredibly stealth. I struggled to recognize one aimed at my face while I was talking to the wearer (a colleague). When I realized it (later) it felt awful.

A Public Outcry stopped the goofle Lens in its tracks.
We need to speak up !!

@joe_vinegar @labbatt50 @Em0nM4stodon a vendor at a large co-op mall was creeping everyone out with his Ray-Bans, constantly taking photos of people and telling his friends that he was trying to disable the tell-tale LED when videoing.

He was evicted from the mall after refusing to stop recording with the glasses when interacting with customers and vendors.

As expected, he started a negative review campaign against the mall. What was shocking was the number he managed to rope into helping him - all very conservative folk in their late fifties to seventies, all slamming the managers for "stifling innovation".
