Meta Is Warned That Facial Recognition Glasses Will Arm Sexual Predators

Fuckers played WatchDogs and thought what a great idea.

In the first case the device would still have to identify people not connected to the wearer to determine if they are connected or not. That seems like it would make it much easier to bypass and tag strangers anyway.

I saw some fucking idiot with these on at a show a few months ago and I had to exert a lot of control not to yank them off her face and stomp on them.

Nobody wants to be recorded secretly. Especially not at a show. That’s a gross invasion of privacy - and, in fact, illegal in some jurisdictions (two-party consent laws for recordings).

Meta will arm them... but they won't have legs

...in pursuit of what?

Pre-order now and get one free year of Flock Together—the only personal security service that combines cutting-edge facial recognition technology with Persona integration to provide real-time risk assessments of your fellow countrymen based on their social credit score, public records, and data broker profile.

making a mechanical scream similar to the body snatchers people in tha tmovie.

wait til they find out about cellphone cameras and the 1,000 other video glasses companies

There is absolutely.

You'll never appease the shareholders or maintain your quarterly growth that way... ^Trump is pushing to eliminate quarterly reports for public companies, so they may not need to care and can just be evil for the sake of it.^

It's funny how they enshittify it for consumers first, but now aiming spread enshitification to wall street so they can fuck those 401ks even harder.

Capitalism baby!

The main issue isn’t even the technology itself, it’s that it’s Meta and owned by the Zuck.

There are a thousand corporations tripping over themselves to out-horrify the public.

I’m sure there are ways to engineer this so the data stays on device and use it for specific scientific purposes exclusively.

I'm sure there are but if you see one in public, how would you know? Best just to ban them all.

zuck is meta.

Sounds like you need to talk to your local government officials about having them banned in your area, otherwise you are going to spend a lot of time in jail/prison. Glasses didn't take off when Google did them because the tech wasn't there yet 10 years ago. Meta is launching theirs now, Apple will be launching multiple next year, which means Google may be launching them again depending on the success Apple and Meta see.

As far as laws go in the U.S. It is generally accepted that if you leave your property, you can be recorded. Hence Ring doorbells, cameras in and outside every store, on the street lights, etc. I don't care for it, but privacy (in public) doesn't exist anymore.

Palatable effort, fellow keyboard warrior!

I don't even get why anyone thinks they are cool. They don't even have displays in them. I would understand for smart glasses with no cameras, but the ability to display a HUD with navigation, music info, text messages, etc.
