your argument is garbage, ignoring the reality that hardware has - who'd have fuckin thought it - come quite a long way in last 20 years.

also, your old glassholes were exceptionally low resolution AND didn't have machine learning & facial recognition behind them

people are assholes and you're excusing their shitty behavior and defending their increasingly creepy technology

think it's gonna get better if we continue to ignore it?

    Fuck man, you’re right. Let’s ban cameras in general, they can be used for creepy things. Ban phones too, those can be used for creepy things.

    The tech is useful, and has potential to become much more useful in the future. Being a Luddite about the tech doesn’t solve the problem, it just ignores the assholes.

    fuck man, I am right, but your churlish hyperbole is noted, do you need a nappy?

    problem is people like you are perfectly willing to sacrifice the safety of others because you don't give a fuck.

    Did you even read the article posted?

    The article which does nothing to suggest meta glasses were actually an integral part to this? Again, cell phone in shirt pocket. Accomplishes the same thing. Or hell, a pen cam which is a thing that’s been around for decades and is a fraction of the cost.

    The problem is that an asshole decided to ignore the “no recording” request. There are dozens if not hundreds of discreet ways the asshole could have done this, in the same way there are dozens of tools you can use to break a window.

    Why are you so willfully ignorant? Meta already knows it's a problem, why won't you acknowledge it?

    The pen cam can't be pointed without making it obvious, duh. That this has to be explained out is moronic.

    Pen cam is 1080p, specs are 1440x1920 with a wide FOV. These devices aren't remotely the same.

    The problem is you're ok with the assholes, I guess because you identify as one.

    Jesus dude you’re just comin at me with the insults, kinda ironic you’re calling me an asshole. 🤣

    Your article explicitly states they are banning the assholes. Which is good. It’s a very weird choice of article to back up your “meta knows the hardware is a problem” claim.

    Bottom line is, humans are assholes. This is known. They are assholes with all kinds of tech, according to you that includes Lemmy. They can also be creeps here. That doesn’t mean the tech itself is the problem.

    I’ll spell it out this time, a hammer can be used to break a window, does that mean we should ban hammers?
