    The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

    A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.

      Buy a pair and follow rich and powerful people around with them. That’s how they become illegal.

          How close do you need to get for facial recognition with a device that is designed to vacuum up every face it comes across? After a couple of scandals about who was out where with whom, that’s all it would take.

            I kinda think kureta@lemmy.ml is right tho, it’d be hard. People like Zuck, they take private jets from here to there. They don’t fly commercial. They don’t go eat to normal restaurants with the plebs, he has high end privately catered. He don’t do his own shopping. Zuck bought 11 houses around his own mansion, for … privacy!

            That goes into an observation. Zuck zealously guards his own privacy. He doesn’t want YOU to have privacy! But HE wants as much privacy as he can get.

      I think hidden cameras are already illegal in some places, no?

      Like you can’t film in a bathroom, so wouldn’t they be required to take these glasses off before walking in?

      Just expand that so no secret cameras can be used, or.cameras disguised as every day objects like pens and glasses.

      I think the best start would be to make it illegal to collect and retain data that would make devices like this useful.
