@Em0nM4stodon I wish someone would explain to me how these are legal in the EU? I passed by a store in Paris advertising them in the window and I got so confused. France has super stringent laws regarding the right to your own image… I hope they’ll have the same fate as Google Glass (aka 🪦 )

@_elena @Em0nM4stodon France? A country that allows employers to demand your photo on job applications?
Public photography and filming is legal in public places in the UK, including in public buildings. Exceptions would probably be ticketed events and exhibitions.
That said, it's polite to stop when asked. It's also wise to have a model release for identifiable people, if you want to use / sell pictures internationally.

@_elena Recording video of people in public is legal throughout the EU (and all other countries too, I thought).
I mean. Try taking a tourist video in Rome _without_ anyone in it ;)
That of course doesn't mean you should, but the laws only protect someone's audio in a conversation, in those states/countries with two-party consent. Sweden, where I live, is one-party consent so I can record all conversations I have. Legally.
@_elena @Em0nM4stodon If you install CCTV at home in France it's not meant to even record the public highway outside, so I'm not sure how this can be legal.
@_elena @Em0nM4stodon I'm willing to bet that the user is prompted to confirm during the setup that they accept the ToS, which in turn says somewhere that it's the user's responsibility to make sure to use them in accordance with the local laws.
@_elena I don't understand either. I don't understand how they are legal anywhere.
It seems to go against so many laws, and I guess because there's the words "AI" and "smart" in it, nobody cares? I think we should bring this to the attention of our data protection authorities. We should get Ray-Ban banned!
@Em0nM4stodon I wonder if @noybeu has anything going on against them
whats worrying is I searched for images of them and some look like any other glasses - although it would be unusual to wear dark glasses indoors here in Britain nor during the autumn/winter (unless you are driving and there is low sun), I saw some pairs with clear lenses that look just like a normal pair of specs..
