Surveillance glasses recording people without their knowledge and consent, and especially if they collect nonconsensual data using AI or facial recognition, need to be banned and illegal to sell everywhere.
Tell your local representatives they need to outlaw this harmful technology.
Privacy is a human right.
We need to defend it.

Rather than banning any particular technology, we should ban anything used for the purpose of mass surveillance.
Then we don't need to pass a new law every time another corporation figures out how to create a new spy technology.
@Em0nM4stodon i think it was in the book by Neal Stephenson :"Fall; or, Dodge in Hell", when facial recognition became widely used people started to wear "anti recognition" glasses that blasted laser light to distort their image...i hate when dystopian scifi hits close to home!
@Em0nM4stodon YES!!
I hate being recorded.
@Em0nM4stodon i miss the days when google glasses would get you beaten up
@Em0nM4stodon This is the example I use for how it’s all gone wrong. Those kinds of glasses for blind people are absolute game changers. That’s the killer use case. But that’s not a billion dollar business. We unfortunately all know the bigger use case is creepville
@Em0nM4stodon Anyone remember that saying that you shouldn't hit a kid wearing glasses? Now that kid is an adult and decides to wear surveillance glasses and record me without my consent. Gloves off.
@Em0nM4stodon Imagine if the US governmentt had a privacy laws for the digital age which they're too corrupt and inept to even consider one.
I would focus on electing people who actually give a shit because these current crops (local, state, and federal alike) aside from a very few that I can count on one hand certainly won't.
@Em0nM4stodon This is an important issue, but unfortunately I can't think of a clear way to differentiate between video recorded in public to creep on people and video recorded in public as part of journalism or art. Any legislation to keep regular people from being recorded will also be abused by people in power to keep their abuses out of the public eye. I don't like my privacy invaded, but I also don't want to live in a world where it is against the law to identify violent police officers.
@Em0nM4stodon Sorry, I'd really like muggers to be identified.
@Em0nM4stodon Fortunately, here in Italy our privacy laws are still quite strict: a device that records people without consent — especially with facial recognition — wouldn’t be allowed to operate freely today.
Let’s hope our institutions keep defending this approach and don’t get swayed by foreign models pushing for ever‑more invasive surveillance. Privacy is a fundamental right, and it deserves to be protected with conviction.
@Em0nM4stodon Crazy that this even needs to be said.
