I've been making a conscious effort to take more videos of my kids doing normal everyday stuff. We have plenty of pictures, but I want to remember the silly things they said, the way they said "boo boo" after falling down, how they acted when you gave them a food they don't like. From my perspective, these seem great.

Assuming this is in your house primarily why not install indoor cameras instead?

  I really like having the videos from my own perspective, I sort of get that from my phone but glasses would be even better for that. I don't know if I'll get these facebook glasses, but having glasses to record whenever I felt like it sounds great for memory preservation.

The problem is in public, would you be ok with other people recording video and audio constantly and uploading to facebook? Would you be ok with all your life being out in the public? (either sold by facebook, hacked account or mandated by someone) How about used for law enforcement... auto fines when you go over the speed limit, police sent to your house when weed detected, etc

  If you’re in public in many places there’s a good chance you are already being recorded. This seems like a natural progression of that. Not that I like the direction this is taking us, but it seems inevitable

    The UK and china have this issue with CCTVs everywhere. Only places I've seen cameras are in stores. Otherwise its easy to see if someone pulls up their phone.

  How is any of what you said not really going on now? People routinely take pictures with other people in the background and upload it to facebook without permission, and if facebook's facial recognition recognizes them it asks if you want to tag them and gives their name, or gives you the option to manually tag them which then informs facebook as to who the person really is. If they aren't on facebook/no account, it builds a shadow profile for that person and connects them with other people who have uploaded pictures of them in the past. If that person is in your contacts and you've uploaded your contacts, facebook now also knows who they are and their number, that they can cross reference, and they didn't sign up for facebook. That data is all sold by facebook. And the police have shown up at peoples houses due to what others have posted on facebook. When do we get to the dystopia part you're alluding to? We've been here for awhile. You're just acclimated now and don't see it.

    You notice people recording by them holding their phone towards you. You can go to them and ask them to stop or get out of the way. A pair of eyeglasses that you might not even notice is a different thing. As for uploads on facebook, it was never that pervasive and right now not many people even upload to facebook anymore... Its all reshared memes and ads

      I have 2 cameras in my car recording front/rear views all the time in 4k resolution while driving on public roads. I can upload them anywhere without anyone's permission because they were taken in public spaces. I pass x bank machines every day on public sidewalks, all recording. I pass x building a day on public streets and sidewalks, all with cameras recording 24/7. When I go in a store, there are cameras everywhere, recording. There are millions of cameras recording people in public every day, and they're not using cell phones being "obvious" and don't care about whether you like it or not, and you have 0 say except to not go out in public. How many times a day are you recorded without your "knowledge or consent?" Why are glasses the straw that breaks the camels back? You're swimming in it already. https://reolink.com/how-many-times-you-caught-on-camera-per-day/ https://reolink.com/how-many-times-you-caught-on-camera-per-...

Facebook are just an advertising company. Just another datapoint to target adverts at you.
