The data from your Meta Ray Bans is used to train Meta's AI, which most people don't understand means that humans are looking at the most intimate details of their lives. https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-privacy-concerns-workers-say-we-see-everything
Meta’s AI Smart Glasses and Data Privacy Concerns: Workers Say “We See Everything”

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

If enough people wore Zuckerfuck's spy glasses, it would absurdly serve the expansion of corporate surveillance in the public and private sphere.
Do we really want a society where everybody is willingly wearing corporate monitors, with Waymos on every street, CCTV on every corner, smartphone cameras unwittingly recording from every hand?
Seriously, this is the craziest dystopia unfolding in real time.
Stop. The. Madness.
Boycott this shit and counter-trendify!

The wildest part about all of it is that this is the dystopia people are choosing because they are so dumb they go for every new shiny bullshit thing these companies produce. I have yet to see these, but I see that they have sold millions of them, so either they are lying about sales (wouldn't be the first time), or they are literally everywhere already... probably some combo of the two to be honest. As if ring wasn't bad enough. I no longer wear a mask in public just for covid, but for my privacy and so should anybody who cares about this shit. Every camera we have created that has an internet connection is now being employed in the palentir//flock//meta//google//tesla global surveilance scheme. It is not something we should be accepting, but the US court system has done it's best to completely do away with privacy.

Social pressure to conform is a real and inherent shaping force in and of society.

I think it's more useful to try to understand consumption through the lens of advertisement and market-consumer conditioning.

When something becomes trendy enough, it becomes a mass phenomenon.
So it doesn't suffice with individual boycott - we have to campaign hard against this shit, to demonetize it, or as I ad hoc termed it, to "counter-trendify".
