First time seeing a “NO META GLASSES” sign in the door of a shop! I’m not surprised… and I expect we might see more of these kind of things in the years ahead.

@danyork We obviously don't frequent the same strip clubs
@danyork if you've been acting long enough, you do remember the "Glassholes" when Google glass was originally unveiled back in 2013
@danyork there's a nice ISO 7010 P044
@danyork a small mole “no assholes” sign does the same thing
@danyork I run an app on my phone that sounds an alarm whenever meta glasses come near me.
I feel pity for the lost souls that have to take off their prescription meta ray bans at this shop, and are forced to blindstumble through the aisles trying to fingerguess what they're holding. "Errr... Excuse me, how much is this banana?" "Sir, this a sex shop not a grocery store."
@danyork i hope they make an exception for blind people that use these as ectr help with the be my eyes app
@danyork guess you missed the "no glassholes" movement back in 2014

@danyork This probably less about the privacy of their workers and more about preventing pricing research.
@danyork faraday cages for all!
@danyork Meta's owner will whine with his orange friend and the shops with such ban will be issued a cease and desist order all over the American Reich. Those abroad will face new tariffs.
At a local art and craft fair last year, I saw several signs that photos were not allowed. (Those of you who go to more events like this have probably seen a lot more of these signs...) I assume this was people trying to avoid having cheap copies of their creations mass produced. Not sure how effective that was for them, but Meta glasses can only be making the situation worse.
@danyork This is beautiful.
I can only imagine whats going on the meta servers as someone goes down the high street wearing these - "person x identified via facebook face recognition, walking with person b - known and 1 other child also known, 1 adult unknown... etc etc... unknowns passed to human team for categorisation"
That company and its CEO makes my skin crawl, IMHO totally unlawful data collection and use in public!
