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 I will be very interested to see if thin / no frame glasses or contacts will become more desired in response to people being suspicious of chunkier frames. I mean, I hope this gets driven back as unacceptable before it widely impacts fashion trends, but I know I'd be thinking about it if I were in the market for eyewear right now.

@ErsatzLogic My own prescription glasses have a thick black frame similar to Meta's RayBan and now I'm mortified people might think I'm one of those assholes.

I may need to change my frame fashion. One more thing Meta has destroyed for me I guess.

@Em0nM4stodon @ErsatzLogic Maybe you could get away with a 3D printed frame cover?

Yeah, it's plastic, but it would make it very clear that your glasses do NOT have a camera that could be pointed at them.

@Epic_Null @ErsatzLogic I guess I could also just put stickers over the non-cameras to confirm there is no camera 😄 Damn... I never thought that could happened when I picked my nerdy thick black frame glasses. The future is weird ðŸ«
