How fuckin' tone deaf do you have to be? Oh right, he gave all the billionaires his personal number and told them to "call him" if they need any thing.

"it defines wearable recording devices as “too broadly or imprecisely” and that this could lead to confusion and unintended consequences. Newsom added that the proposed bill also includes protections that already exist in California’s law"

Are we in California not already a 2-party consent state when it comes to recording people and conversations? I understand the difference when it is a public setting, but surely these violate the spirit of our laws if not the direct written word

Laws are typically evaluated by state agencies and by multiple consultants before they are even voted on (I believe a law like this would have been evaluated again before it was enacted). So given that kind of vetting and how broad and vague the claim is I think it's safe to say it's an excuse.

There's also the fact he's done this often enough before to veto legislation that would coincidentally happen to anger Silicon Valley or make him look too "leftist" if he ran for President.

Lmao Liberal cunts like Newsom always have some fake technicality they use to justify their shitty policies with Only the dumbest BlueMAGA cucks alive actually believe these excuses

They absolutely will. And it’ll be 4-8 years of moderate business as usual, we’ll be good enough to get by, and then another Republican will come along to undo everything in 2036 or 40.

Newsom is already effectively the nominee. You would not believe how many “resist”/voteBlue people have told me to “enjoy the camps” because I will never vote for Newsom

Indeed. It's the emergence of a new expression that interests me. Will "pervert glasses" make it to the Oxford English Dictionary 'Word of the Year' shortlist? Joining the ranks of "selfie" and "lockdown"?

Everytime Newsom does something shitty I am stuck thinking about the people like a year ago saying we HAVE to vote for him as next president

You think people with smart glasses (that have a giant light that can't be disabled) are recording people without their consent? Wait til you hear about how many 1000s of hours a day smart phones record people without their consent. Restricting nonconsensual recording only to wearable devices sucks

I know the article highlights the pervert glasses, but the bill used "wearable devices", which includes smartwatches, like Apple highlighting the live transcripts. One can also argue including AirPods, which have live translation, so I think Newsome just wants specifics that cannot be loopholed.

I personally would have used wordings like "non-savable or streamed video recordings" to focus on the glasses, but somehow the shift from pervert glasses to smartwatches happened and now we're here encompassing all. I dunno how they're thinking it through over there.

If public recording is bad, CCTV in public spaces should be next.

This has been hashed over ad nauseum: Phones have to be held up to photograph/record, and therefore can’t do it surreptitiously very effectively, very much unlike pervert glasses.

I think the "fear of perversion" trope in general is harmful. The same argument was used against trans people using gender specific bathroom. Hands free tech in public places is not political.

Just my opinion, but perverts would have to wear the glasses in non-public areas like bathrooms or locker rooms to get the pics they wanted, so they would draw attention to themselves. Most people want to make access to info easier and hands free.

Seeing headlines like "Gavin Newsom … something something … [good thing]" but when I look closer it's almost inevitably "Gavin Newsom vetos bill doing [good thing]"

The First Amendment protects a lot of filming people without consent. I need to read up on how it works and how it would impact surveillance cameras, go-pros and camera phones. I want to point out that I hate those First Amendment Frauditors who harass people for clicks and lawsuits.

Newsom clearly thinks he has a shot at the presidency with big tech behind him. Wait till he finds out the hard way what Obama and Biden did - these companies will burn the US Constitutional order and rule of law to the ground to avoid the lightest hint of regulation or consumer protection.

It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his paycheck depends on him not understanding it. These politicians are well paid by their donors to maintain very specific ignorance on very specific things.

if you want customer support, don’t be a difficult customer, because, This phone call will be recorded for “Training Purposes“. Training AI?

Video glasses have been around for decades. If it’s okay for big tech to spy on us, then we, can spy on them & expose their crimes. The revolution will be televised.
