I want us to remember all the celebrities and influencers who shilled for these glasses and helped normalize this type of surveillance.

Because that's what Meta is doing. They're throwing billions at the problem of us being creeped out by these things.

I know for a lot of us, no amount of celebrity advertising will change our minds, but historically, this strategy does work well enough to squeeze into the mainstream.

So fuck anyone who has anything to do with normalizing Meta Raybands.

I'm sort of breaking my rule of not judging individuals for their participation in capitalism. Mostly, people just do what they can to survive and our energy is better spent fighting big corporations instead of each other.

BUT. No one *needs* to shill for these glasses. Tech influencers know better. They know what Meta's end game is for this ad-tech hardware.

We are crossing over a horizon from screens to the real world, and once it happens it's hard to go back.

So these people are sellouts.

@fromjason individuals do have responsibility when they're knowingly aiding and abetting

We need to start giving people we know in our lives shit for being on Facebook, or wearing Gargoyle Glasses. Escalate the opprobrium in proportion to the collaboration.

@fromjason Are the meta glasses water-proof? Could you disable one by splashing it with water?
