Dear smart glasses wearers,

You're colossal pieces of shit. And dumb as a bag of socks, morons who are paying companies for the privilege of spying on strangers without their consent. You're helping to enable a world where privacy literally doesn't exist and every public moment of every person's life, whether they want to participate or not, is being mined and monetized by billionaires.

You are lower than pond scum. You're the shit under the back of the toilet bowl that has never been cleaned. You are actually stupid. Like, actually braindead. You are paying actual money to be exploited. At least Facebook and Instagram are free. Seriously, what kind of dumbass would pay to have Mark Zuckerberg sit on their face all day? Fucking idiots. 🤣

The wearers of these glasses probably don’t want that footage seen by third parties. And the contractors sure seem like they’d rather not watch it—though they risk losing their job if they decide not to label something. “You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” an employee told the papers. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”

We at $COMPANY value your privacy and will process your data with the utmost care.

Every. Privacy. Policy. Ever.

Jokes on them, I only wear my Meta Glasses when I’m furiously masturbating.

They're trying to make sure the Meta employees are too.

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.

Maybe something similar to how microphone blockers work, flood a space with EM radiation outside the typical human visible range.

Or i think i've heard of ways to detect when someone has one of these near you (identifying bluetooth signals and such), in which case you can look around for who has glasses thick enough to hold a camera and shine a laser in their camera/eye. That could have too many false positives though.

Just flashbang every room before you enter it, just to be safe.

[-] IndigoGollum@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It would have to be strong enough to damage the cameras, if it's not to be always on.

Kenyans are watching you masturbate.
