Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned the nickname “pervert glasses” — and a journalist’s firsthand account reveals exactly why. Wearing them didn’t just feel creepy; it made her start thinking like one. I break down the real surveillance threat these glasses pose, Meta’s data exploitation playbook, and what we can actually do about it.
Except we’ve seen numerous examples where woopsie the bodycam was off or the footage mysteriously was corrupted, would be a bit different if we also had civilian footage that contradicts it, think about how many cell phone videos have proven a cop was lying about a situation and apply that further.
I guess I just feel like it’s a little overblown on the downsides with creeps being creepy, which they could already easily do with a cellphone or real cameras.
