Meta won’t let morality get in the way of a product launch

Frictionless facial recognition in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is a serious threat to society, even more so because Meta is so cozy with American authoritarianism.

@verge How does this work legally in states that have two-party consent laws for recording?

@DanielMReck @verge

Yeah, been wondering the same thing!

@Mikal @DanielMReck @verge party consent laws apply to whether a recording can be used as evidence in a court of law, not whether the recording itself is legal.

@chillybot @Mikal @verge At least in #Illinois, it would be #illegal regardless of whether the recording is to be used in a court.

"A person commits #eavesdropping when he or she knowingly and intentionally…Uses an eavesdropping device, in a surreptitious manner, for the purpose of transmitting or recording all or any part of any private conversation to which he or she is a party unless he or she does so with the consent of all other parties to the private conversation…” https://www.ilga.gov/Documents/legislation/ilcs/documents/072000050K14-2.htm
