My phone's camera is not playing all the time and doesn't send the data to Meta. It just records a file locally, it's not the same at all.

  That's..exactly how the Meta glasses work :/, and there has been no evidence otherwise so far. Would love to see it if I missed this.

    There have already been stories about meta contractors being able to watch the footage people are recording with the glasses. Recordings included people undressing, on the toilet, and other explicit stuff. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/meta-workers-seeing-disturbing-things-222335890.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/meta-workers-seeing-dist...

      Yes, That’s an opt-in feature. You can record all the footage you want and keep it on your phone, and they won’t see any of it, unless you ask for it be analyzed by their AI (as laid out in the article you shared). Of course if there was evidence they’re doing it when I haven’t opted in I’d dump em. It’s made clear during onboarding, but I’m sure it could be better.

        People don't like to be watched and recorded. That's it. This data - which includes their facial features, geolocation, and activities is not yours to take and immortalize. This should be intuitive to any empathetic human being. One person saying "this breaches my sense of safety and privacy" should be enough for you to understand.

    Meta was caught so many times on stealing user data and bypassing privacy controls that I don't even know how can you suggest believing them with straight face.
