I doubt people would use it for actual porn, but I fully expect it will herald an explosion of creepshot porn where guys take (and distribute) sexualized, male-gaze footage of women and girls in public. These glasses will absolutely be used to harass and objectify women and girls. Some people may just want to produce fairly low quality (5MP) POB videos for Instagram, but that doesn't negate or offset the harm these will do to many women and girls.
I watched a WSJ video on these glasses and from 5+ feet away, they are indistinguishable from the ubiquitous Ray-Ban Wayfarers sunglasses. The "camera's on" LED is about the size of a poppy seed and in daylight conditions, it was nearly impossible to notice. Also, they put the button that starts recording in a place I touch while adjusting my glasses, so starting a recording will also be completely inconspicuous. These seem to be designed to violate people's privacy, which would make sense considering how incredibly good FB is at monitizing their (often non-consensual) access to the intimate details of people's lives.
