Why and who’s buying those?
Yet another surveilance tool marketed as a cool tech gadget.
I remember when cool tech gadgets were cool and not undisguised spy tools.
It’s almost absurd at this point, but i used to be really into gadgets and tech and shit. Now everything i see is like: that’s a spy tool. That’s showing ads. That is an ad. That is just a lie.
Same. At most I got 15 years left and I doubt I will ever see this changing in my lifetime.
How is this cool in any way.
The future is now, old man!
They wouldn’t! Not a penis camera right? Thry wouldn’t!
Oh they would!
And then make it mandatory for everyone with a penis.
For child protection, you know.Just noticed Child Protection.
It really doesn’t matter if facial recognition is enabled or not today, it can always be done later on. This is a huge invasion of privacy.
I don’t think even George Orwell could have predicted that one day they’d put the cameras inside glasses, it would be common knowledge that they’re in there and the they’re spying on you and everyone you look at, and people would still voluntarily buy them with their own money and wear them around.
Just wait until they have brainwave scanners on the sides
In soviet russia, glasses see you!
I don’t know what’s worse. Meta admitting to spy and nothing happens or the dumb people still buying their crap and using their services.
Le facebook product is… le spying?
So you’re telling me that the creepy motherfuckers who would wear something like this around in public do creepy things?
Never would have guessed that. 🤔
Also why is Meta watching that footage?
I’m pretty sure they monitor everything on all of their platforms, I don’t know if they have to for legal reasons or just choose to.
Yeah, sorry I just read the article and found the answer, they tag the videos to train their AI.
Well that’s what you get for spying on people. Duh
Meta learning what the meme-CIA agents had been subjected to for years.
Wow, what an admission. Peeping META?
What a surprise
'I have nothing to hide."

Except for the first part of that quote. /s
Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - ‘they’ want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’ Can’t remember which band
If you tolerate this, your children will be next. Is a Manic Street Preachers song.
Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.
They’ll be next and they won’t know any better
What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ’
“If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.” By the Manic Street Preachers.
That’s the one, thanks. Almost got it right!
Orwell also got it wrong not predicting people would not want to turn of their telescreens
Absolutely. IIRC, the option of turning them off was only available to very high ranking members and even then only for relatively short periods of time.
Now we have Boomers with Fox on 24/7.
Been had that
Kathryn Bigelow’s most under-rated film is almost upon us…just 30 years later than we thought.
Also…if you haven’t seen that movie…go watch it. It’s low-key one of her best.
I know this is off-topic, but Kathryn Bigelow is just an under-rated director in general I think. So many bangers. Also from a quick search I just found out she had a new movie out last year that stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson and Jared Harris? Somehow I missed that entirely.
Oh! In addition too Strange Days she directed the OG Point Break and The Hurt Locker! All great movies!
Great 90s cyberpunk movie. Way better than Johnny Mnemonic and Judge Dread.
Also starred the smokin’ hot Angela Basset as a bonus.
But this is not the problem but a symptom. Of you having no right to privacy (and if, it can be overwritten by some ToS).
Well you definitely don’t have any right to privacy in public in the US.
You have a reduced right to privacy in public but not eliminated all together.
We get to return to the verbiage “glasshole” right
Definitely not a Sony Walkman, which was cool and the foam headphones were comfortable to wear. I miss the simple analog days.
