I could not care less about the the privacy of the weirdos who will try to wear these in public. I care deeply about the further normalization of surveillance capitalism.
I try hard to be kind, but I will have very little patience for any individual who wears always-on cameras that infringe on my privacy. I don't use social media for a reason. Meta just wants to sell surveillance devices so they can collect more data, and will try to convince us it is for our benefit.
- fennecbutt 2y agoYou do realise you can be filmed openly in public places, right?
- anonzzzies 2y agoNot in all countries.

- jmb99 2y ago> I don't use social media for a reason. Do you not consider HN social media?
- kristiandupont 2y agoI don't.
- gorjusborg 2y agoI don't. Not funded by ads, not about building a network of 'friends'. I consider HN more of a link sharing site.
- signatoremo 2y agoHN is an ad for YC. The Y logo featured on every page. HN is as much social media as any other platforms: traffic driven by popularity, echo chamber, bias, or algorithm. HN is not a link sharing site. The links aren’t organized by natural order such as the alphabet. You aren’t here for the links, but for the comments.
- kristiandupont 2y agoSure, but you can't "befriend" or "follow" anyone. To me, at least, that is the first thing that makes me think of a site as SoMe.
- stevage 2y agoThat was the original definition of social media. Sharing media to consume. Sites like FB were referred to as social networking. But then the terms got conflated.
- throwaway314155 2y agoOh come on.
- paul7986 2y agoIve used Meta Ray Bans since October and talked a lot about them since on HN and other places like Reddit. Also, almost half of friends and family have mentioned privacy thing too. Though looking through these comments Im not seeing much of that worry maybe the tide is turning. Overall i dont care to film or take pics of anyone but what im experiencing in life and those Im with. No doubt that's how what the majority of Meta Ray ban wearings are using their smart glasses too. A year of wearing them and fairly often smart glasses are the next big thing yet they will not replace the smart phone as these tech dudes say they will. You can not take a selfies with smart glasses and we are narcissistic beings.

I'm not a violent person but wouldn't rule out using my fists if someone was filming me or my kids. That said, I live in Japan, so they'll more than likely be banned or heavily restricted like other devices used to make covert recordings.
