@zackwhittaker how the hell is anyone who wears these things having sex?

@SecureOwl @zackwhittaker the article doesn't state that it was the wearer having sex and what we know about this technology being stalker/creep adjacent, it may be safe to assume that much, if not all, of it wasn't the wearer or their partner

These things should just be banned but people walking around with facial ID cameras uploading to a friendly platform is most government's wet dream at the moment

Has anybody an idea if #FlipperZero or similar tools can be used to disturb #smartglasses or their function in general?

@zackwhittaker Thanks for this piece of news!!

I'm wondering what's that "sensitive content" classification based on?

Even when I'm walking on the street, my personal image is a content of which I deny anybody the right to capture & record without my consent - full stop.

To separate conceptually "sensitive content" from "content that's ok to record without consent from the target" is an utterly dangerous approach.

No AI spy glasses in my neighborhood!
