Only a creep would buy and wear them.

Epstein pervert glasses, you know, Zuckerberg was friends with Epstein.

Don't know if banning them will work , as the cat is out of the bag ,but I can see why this could be a problem . Maybe we should give a set to all the women , trans and people of colour . I wonder what we would learn.....

These things should only be available by prescription for the visually impaired, and illegal to use without a prescription.

IGNORANT PERV GLASSES BAN THEM

I am so sick of the techbro take that these are no different than phone cams

For many people with poor or no eyesight they have proved to be a boon. www.guidedogs.org.uk/blog/reviewi...

Prescription only for sight impaired people would be good.

Pervert Glasses®

Have you considered the ridiculously heavy lifting the conflation of multiple different types of “privacy” you’re using there? And if you look at what I wrote, what I am proposing, I am suggesting we revisit that anachronistic structure in light of technological change.

The cold blooded lizard posing as a human. Would of course be over the moon, if everyone was wearing these nerdy glasses to look like poser that doesn't know how have a normal conversation without recording everything. Ideally I would love if he could shove these glasses up his ass.

Yeah why wait until things get bad with new technology? We test medications first as well to see if they are safe to use before unleashing them into the general population. They have to be tested safe before using these as well, and software as well. Like AI is already destructive.

Except in regimes like USA ect.

The design will become less noticeable, less obvious, to the point of being indistinguishable from regular glasses. There wasn't any real pressure on design apart from making them less bulky before. Now there will be.

I see something totally different. I see senses: sight, hearing, thought, touch, taste, and smell. Smart glasses cover: sight, hearing, & thought. Life is toxic, choose wisely. Banning something suggests that you know best. Please explain and don't inflict pain.

I'm surprised that a conservative extremist like you is able to get so many likes on a post raging against technology and progress on Bluesky. You make X look like moderates.

We should ban cars, weapons, knifes because some assholes use them as weapons. What happens to the idea to punish the people who misbehave? Why not 5 years prison time if someone films without consent?

The problem is us rewarding and encouraging bad behavior.

Let's bring back the ban for Ray-Bans.

A Blind person was telling me off earlier for calling the makers crazy to think blind people would have a use for them so they can make videos they CAN NOT watch later? no one that isn't a spy would have any real use for them? and perverts of course

I can remember absolute yrs ago,on the back or inside back page,ads for 'X Ray Specs',of the Superman comics and spent years wondering if they actually were X Ray Specs... Guess I'll never know.

I don't think a ban is the right move. But more RnD and a push for accessibility devices for people with disabilities where these can genuinely help. There can be genuinely positive use cases for these devices. It's a shame both meta and the people using them have corrupted the good they could be.

Pervert's Delight is the right name.

This perverted gadget replaces my GoPro helmet cam when I hammer the MTB single track in the area. 👍

That's actually a valid point now that they can see movement and surroundings with signals like wifi, bt and ultra wide band. GPS could be used as well.

The term from Google glasses days. “Glasshole!” Still is descriptive and on point.

So we just need to catch up, while Trump fiddles with, you know, maps and stuff...?

Ban ban ban OR jail anyone with one like if they had kiddy porn on their phone/laptop!

And penalize those who share the images.

That nerd Zuck is a weirdo

We do not need these glasses in the USA.

Banning is not the answer. These are incredibly useful to partially sighted people. What is needed is a clear indicator that it is operating

Once again, for the mentally impaired, there is no privacy in public. Period. Never was. Never will be. We have a Constitution in this country. Dumbass.

Acid fucks up the lenses!

Protesters need to start using these glasses. All these security forces are keyed up to target people holding their phones. Put the glasses on and get them that way. If protesters do use these glasses to good effect, they will be made illegal.

I saw an ad this morning where Meta was saying they were giving Meta glasses to every blind veteran. Nearly made me sick to think they would use veterans this way. Why don’t they just shut up and do good without making an ad 🥵🤬🤮

I am missing something with these glasses. How are perverts using them? I thought they only recorded what the person is already seeing.

Seriously. What did the people that designed these think they were going to be used for?

!!!!!

Lots of pretty obvious (I think?) bot accounts defending pervert cams here

“Pause” “Regulate” “Temporary” Not filling me with huge relief if I’m honest

#PervertGlasses are a gift to creepy bastards & paedophiles.

Remember the one word that buried the Google glasses? "Glasshole." Use it. Often.

Get the perv #TechBros off our streets 🤓

Counterpoint, when I protest and see ICEholes, I often wish I had a pair.

Seems like there is a market for a whole wave of perv stuff.

Maybe we should, or the addictive apps on it at least.

@dworkin.bsky.social USA too

There are many options.

Nah, it would be completely infeasible to implement. Everyone should just take their clothes off so perverts have no incentive to perv.

Good idea.

We used to call them "glassholes"

Fantastic point

These seem fine

in japan all cameras must legally make an audible noise when taking a picture to discourage creeps taking pictures candidly. There's no reason laws shouldn't exist to mitigate misuse of the tech, whether it be a noise or a bright flashing light or whatever you want.

This. The super-tiny digital camera is here to stay - the best we can do is probably try to make those lights difficult to disable. The more little robots in the world, the more tiny eyes. I don't know how we're going to curb that with a simple 'don't make devices with cameras on them'

Our attitude toward the people wearing them will be the most powerful weapon against them.

💯 “Pervert’s Delight”

Yes! And don't forget pervert street cameras!

I don’t get it. Aren’t cameras everywhere already? What are they going to capture that we don’t already see?

I use mine to make sure I keep myself safe. When I travel to work its dark, my parking lot is dark, my works parking lot is dark. If anything were ever to happen at least I am able to have it recorded if need be. For me it is a sense of security. I hate people who ruin shit for everyone.

Who cares lol I already said I'm not the kind of person to just ask the government to ban technology at will.

i am sorry, but these glasses are not made to be accessibility tools, they're made to be smartphone v2.0 we don't have to allow shitty things to exist just because they have 1 or 2 good uses plus this boils down to the fact that nobody trusts mark zuckerberg, and nobody should

Thank you for being the only voice of reason in this entire thread. The only thing I disagree with you on is that a large proportion of people are being problematic. These glasses have sold millions of units and there’s probably only a few hundred TikTok trolls at best.

The people with needs, like needing Handicap Parking, or otherwise dangerous meds, can just get a doctors prescription and a license to wear spyware.

The world doesn’t need these or the people who design and sell them.

Never happening. So silly

It's not even only about trusting the user: the data goes to zuc's datafarms to train ai. Even a perfectly innocent user is uploading peoples faces to zuc's surveillance network to be sold to nasty regimes, without even realizing it.

It’s too bad, these would be so good for people with major vision loss

Something it took me a LONG time to figure out. I was roughly 40 when I did. But liars think everyone else lies. Thieves think everyone else wants to steal. Rapists think everyone else wants to rape. This list is long... But it applies to some of the responses in this thread. WTF people!

I concur!

Stop this disgusting 💩

Yes, it reflects the true pervert, isn't it?

I would like having a compliant digi cam which is voice operated

I will be surprised because this is a push against capitalism (oligarchs) which both parties serve.

What's sad is that the technology has legitimate life-changing uses, but shitty perverts just had to go and ruin everything.

So...buy a ton of them quickly NOW?

There is only one reason these were made, disgusting.

Didn't you hear?!? Meta will be releasing a model that automatically records video so you can save those precious moments.

IT’S FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT: VOTE💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

If they had been banned before they were developed, think how much money the big boys would have saved! Banning secretive cameras should be automatic and universal. Whether they provide a video feed to humans or to AI. www.macrumors.com/guide/airpod...

Soo funny I had a loaner pair of Google Glasses when they were new tech and wore them to a party for fun. Everyone was mad when they found out...

Yes, that's worked out so well thus far. 🙄

I originally bought mine because I thought they might help me be able to translate with my in laws who are French. Now I just use them to listen to music or podcasts.

And that's an argument FOR allowing even more pervert devices? Are you nuts?

People who record you with their phones are pervy too, imo.

Wait until they hear about Flock cameras and Ring doorbells.

Sure but if you ban them legally they don’t come back again.

Perfect for stalking😵‍💫🤯😡

Condemn the MF that made the technology to put in glasses. This is ridiculous. We have to ask dirty old men to stop it.

Meta also had the nous to partner with an established player (Luxottica) with a huge retail presence, pushing these things far beyond the tech bubble which the original Glassholes inhabited. I still think we should slap them off people’s faces on sight, mind.

For clarity I'm not one to cry much to the government about personal devices and banning everything because I don't like it.

bsky.app/profile/stij... Actually, no. I was informed I don't need to support evil billionaires who use glasses to upskirt women to "help the blind." Also, a blind alphabet does indeed exist as well as audio books

bsky.app/profile/tame... Read my second post. You might be waiting around forever. Get comfy.

Also to assume vision impaired just stumble around is fucking disrespectful! I knew someone who was viaion impaired. Only had the little cane and not even the cute dog. He did just fine. What? Do you think blind people live like Mr. Magoo and just bump into everything?

Bad news for vision impaired folk, who were just getting excited about how helpful they were. The ‘perverts’ will still have their phones of course

My two cents: The word laser originated as an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. 🤔🤷‍♂️

At the very least require an LED to indicate that the cameras are active, and make it an offense to hack the glasses to turn that off.

Only what suits you!

In OZ and other countries, you do not have a right to privacy while out in public, on public property. Anyone can record you if they want to. There's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing perverted about recording people or places in public.

I prefer to point at laugh and say oh look, that guy is wearing pervert glasses. I wonder if he is a pervert! What am I saying? Of course he’s a pervert.

Yep! Remember the guy with google glasses entering a club leaving with a broken nose? Was on the news then.

Epstein Glasses

Fucking weirdos

You have a point. Today, in the US anyway, being a total asshole has become much more socially acceptable, and holding assholes accountable has become professionally laughable.
