What you're describing is not a Meta or a glasses problem. It's an asshole problem. IMO, devices should not be responsible for people not being assholes. People should. The glasses become significantly less useful as mobility aids if you decide they're not allowed to have cameras in them.
- chabes 1mo agoYes, assholes should be held accountable for their own actions, but this issue goes beyond that. Having a recording indicator would be a simple fix for Meta. As for Apple, the camera can be an optional upgrade, but not everyone will actually need one. Apple can already do object tracking with sensors alone. It’s not far fetched to expect a more developed sensor-only experience from future Apple products.
- oulipo 1mo agoPeople shouldn't be assholes, but if they're passively recording, even for "good" / "non-creepy" reason... still the video that they took of you (that you might not have wanted) can be found in the database of Meta now, and will be used to train their next model, or to use it against you, or sell you ads, etc
- BugsJustFindMe 1mo agoThe word "people" doesn't stop at the one person wearing the glasses. Don't pretend that Meta's corporate data governance decisions aren't also by people being assholes.
