This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing #SmartGlasses Nearby

A new hobbyist developed app warns if people nearby may be wearing smart glasses, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses, which #stalkers and harassers have repeatedly used to film people without their knowledge or consent.

If you own glasses that record people without their consent, we can't be friend, and please don't talk to me.

@ericfreyss désormais vous pouvez toujours vous demandez si quelqu'un vous regarde avec des #rayban s'il n'est pas entrain de vous dénoncer (à votre conjoint, votre employeur, votre bourreau…) et bientôt vous déshabiller (y a pas de raison que cette fonction ne soit pas implantée)… #BalanceTonVoisin #DenonceTonVoisin #MatezLes (vous apprécierez le double sens de mater!

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.

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.’”
