To be fair, you should have no expectation of privacy when in public. You're constantly being recorded when in public whether you know it or not. If you keep this mindset then you can take steps to secure what little privacy is possible. Masks, hats, and IR blocking eyeglass lenses or sunglasses would be my protocol. And mindfully avoiding unscrupulous cameras. Also don't discredit the power of blending in, become an unnoticeable object that blends into the background.
In private, if a friend was wearing them, you should have more expectation of privacy and should voice the concerns to the friend. And if they don't care then walk away, they're not a good friend anyways.
