Filming women without their consent and knowledge is absolutely disgusting and creepy as hell. Posting it online makes it even more despicable.
Our governments are refusing to protect us from this abuse.
Companies selling creep glasses equipped with camera should be publicly shunned to bankruptcy.
"The man who filmed her had posted over a hundred similar videos on his TikTok page, and he is not the only one making this kind of content."
@Em0nM4stodon Meta, the owner is Facebook and Instagram and maker of the smart glasses, notes that the glasses are supposed to display a light when recording and are tamper resistant, and that you shouldn't use then for harassment. Also, from the article:
We put our findings to Meta. It says it will "continually review opportunities to enhance our AI glasses, informed by customer feedback and ongoing research".
So basically they are treating this article as free advertising. "We do kinda the bare minimum, and the product is always improving!" Assholes.
@sillyCoelophysis @Em0nM4stodon
I think @404mediaco covered this & there's some guy you can order the glasses from who will not only disable the LED but also bypass whatever tamper mechanism they have for detecting that you've disabled the LED...
So totally surreptitious recording...
Absolutely!
The thing that will kill creep glasses this time is the same thing that killed them last time (Google Glass, remember those?) - public opprobrium.
If you see anyone wearing them, assume they are recording (because they can hide that fact if they want) -- and then, more importantly, ensure everyone around *knows* the creep is recording them without permission.
Do this loudly and visibly. Stop, point directly at them, and yell "HEY, GLASSHOLE - STOP RECORDING PEOPLE WITHOUT PERMISSION" and continue by telling everyone "Hey, that guy <points> is recording people"...
Humiliate them, publicly. Shame them. Ostracize them. If someone you know is using them, go hard, and make sure everyone else you know knows they are doing it.
That is what will make them stop. Make the personal cost to their dignity, social acceptance, embarassment, everything total out more than the creepy voyeurism is worth, and they will drop it like a hot potato.
