   "It was way too bright and far away to make this out as it was happening, but we apparently captured him adjusting the Meta glasses repeatedly. Can also see a light flashing on and off."

     @generalx @Em0nM4stodon that adjusting is pressing the video button to start recording. Blinky light means recording.

     If the light blinks quickly when that button is pressed then they just took a photo

     I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is:
     Voyeurism.

     This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon.

     Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this?

     @paninid @Em0nM4stodon I never thought about it in terms of religious connotations, but I think this does make a bit of a valid point. Many people in this country are raised from early on to think they have no privacy from at least one being. Maybe this goes a long way to explaining why so many seem to just shrug off giving up privacy rights among other humans.

     EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I think they're taught to accept said being as to be trusted. So they accept corporations

     By the way, if you spot a pair of Meta's Ray-Ban glasses laying on the floor in a public place and filming up, I'd recommend you wrap it in a towel and report it to the authorities (if it is safe for you to do so): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upskirt

     To anyone with questions about Meta's Ray-Ban glasses and how this is problematic for privacy and consent, I highly recommend reading this excellent article from Janus Rose at The Verge:

     "“One way to think about it is protecting your community and the people you care about,” said Gilliard. “When you’re wearing these glasses, when you use your video doorbell, when you record everyone’s conversations, you’re not just surveilling yourself. And there’s no consistent and foolproof way to guarantee that information won’t be used against people you care about — to hurt trans and queer people, or hurt immigrant communities. I wish people would think about it in those terms instead of ‘did my package get delivered.’”
