The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

It's a huge stretch. Most of the people buying these glasses are just interested in technology, see this cool new thing, and are ignorant to privacy because they already use social media and whatnot. Creeps use phones to take underskirt pictures of girls too, so are you going to go around calling every phone owner a creep? People like you who see ignorant "normies" as malicious enemies are what's wrong with the privacy community. Like I said earlier, we should educate, not name call.

'people like you' don't give consumers enough credit. They aren't ignorant to the privacy concerns. That's nonsense. They just don't care about them. People buying these glasses take it a step further though by disrespecting the privacy of others. For that, I will ostracize them and their apologists.
Also what so "cool" exactly to you about strapping an ip camera to your face?

I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Let's agree to disagree 👍

Technically one of us is supposed to call the other a cunt at this point, but will accept your breach of protocol.
