You can’t tell by the giant frames that never fit anyone’s face and the giant circular cameras with a recording indicator? Even if you disable the indicator, I would just assume they are always recording.

Same thing came up in the 90’s with pinhole cameras. Jackass used them and they all looked like narcs.

The number of cameras you’re on every day, being surveillance by government agencies/affiliates, should be this academic’s priority. Not the AmericanTurk doing food reviews.

Ok. Let’s say this app does find the glasses, then what? More Karen’s that don’t understand what “reasonable expectation of privacy” means?
