Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I’m just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.

If it is from a mega corp that is known for spying on people: absolutely

They have no right for cameras in public.

They have no right for cameras in public.

I’m pretty sure they do. That comes along with the word “public”. This sounds like ICE telling observers to stop filming.

Collecting the footage from thousands of cameras and turning it into a giant surveillance system to track everyone is a different matter, and that’s what needs to be made illegal.

I would be perfectly fine with filming in public being illegal without concent with the expection of public officials

Even then there’s some gray area. If you’re in Times Square people are going to be taking pictures and videos of themselves.
