> On the flip side, with smart glasses, others cannot look over your shoulder at your text messages. There are areas where privacy increases So, privacy for thee but not for me? This is what makes these sorts of devices so objectionable. They're people subjecting unconsenting others to surveillance for nothing more than their own convenience. And surveillance that is much more difficult to detect.

> privacy for thee but not for me? That can be said for both directions What really seems to be happening is people extrapolating a few bad apples into the default. We're already being subjected to unconsenting photos by other people every day. There's nothing illegal about that. I'm not sure there is anything illegal about someone taking a photo of someone and nudifying it. The problematic part is more distribution of deepfake nudes / revenge porn. Are we just in a societal phase of throwing the baby out with the bath water? There's a lot of negativity and anger everywhere, vis a vis the Trump effect

  > That can be said for both directions Huh? In what way? My desire to avoid being spied on does not impinge on anyone else's privacy. > What really seems to be happening is people extrapolating a few bad apples into the default. That's not my position. My position is that these devices expose me to a larger corporate/governmental (you can't really separate the two) surveillance system. The person actually wearing the devices isn't really my main point of concern. > There's nothing illegal about that. I'm not talking about what's legal. I'm talking about what's acceptable and right.

How do smart glasses change things from the phone you and everyone else (I assume) carry with us wherever us go? > I'm talking about what's acceptable and right. If you make public photography illegal, you also make illegal the capturing of things that are not acceptable or right. Remember when ICE murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
