There are a ton of great applications for this and other cameras. If you’re a woman walking around by herself it could help prove that an assault took place, for example. The problem is that the people buying these things are the freaks, not the innocents.
“Invading people’s privacy by recording them without their knowledge or consent is only wrong when a man does it.”
So obviously beside the point…can you not turn this into Reddit please? I don’t own meta glasses or film anyone in public without them being aware. The only situation in which I would, which I’ve already said I don’t, is if I’m alone and concerned for my safety.
And yeah men are more likely to use them for perverted reasons.
So are we gonna normalize them and say they’re okay, or are we gonna say they’re an invasion of everyone’s privacy and shouldn’t be acceptable?
Because you can’t have it both ways unless you want to call yourself a hypocrite. This isn’t reddit, but that doesn’t mean you can flaunt your logical inconsistencies and expect no one to call you out on it.
By the way, I’m firmly in the camp of “these are an invasion of everyone’s privacy,” but if you wanna argue “well actually they have some uses” then I don’t want to hear you crying later when someone uses it to invade your privacy. Don’t be so short-sighted.
It’s not beside the point at all.
