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 Predicted this a number of years ago; "No Smart Glasses" signs, will outsell smart glasses.
@danyork
Wait until they see my new athletic supporter with hidden built-in camera and microphone. The wearer can even choose whether the camera is outward pointing or inward.
My wife uses Meta glasses because she's blind.
While I'm all for blocking those who film others without consent, this does prevent her from using assistive technology that is helpful for the vision impaired.
@danyork im blocking a lot of people ITT who dont understand consent 😂
"but my <excuse>"
no, because you want to violate another person's privacy without consent, including long-term knock-on effects of giving inagery of them to fascists.
find another way
Definitely love the push back, I'm just wondering about actual enforcement of such a thing.
@danyork Just wait until Apple combines VisionOS “lite” with those Ray-Ban glasses. It’s going to get much worse for privacy.
@danyork I love it. Metaglass wearers are just the new glassholes. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Glasshole
@danyork this spying on each other shit is ridiculous
@danyork Basically all places I know don't allow indoor recordings without prior obtained permission and that provision doesn't care about whether it's a TV crew with a big-ass camera, smartphone, or whatever (hidden) cameras…
- Most premises will literally kick people out and ban them if caught.
@danyork I am nauseous but this is wonderful.
I lost a job once because other people taking pictures of me on the job without my permission. Company said no pictures. People kept taking pictures of me. :(
@danyork excellent idea
If anyone cone near me with em on I'll rip them off
I don't want to be recorded without my knowledge
@danyork I am 100% behind this
@danyork back in the day of the Google Glass we called them #Glassholes
@danyork time to bring back "don't be a #glasshole " from the old Google glass days.
@danyork hmmm, guessing that’s in connection to AI too.
@danyork there is an ISO standard for warning signs. One of them is this:
@danyork people buying these are ot considering such circumstances where their (precious) consumer choices aren't sacrosanct to all others
And now they're getting these things with prescription lenses, so removing them becomes onerous and "unreasonable"
@danyork FAcebook was founded on the idea of being creepy as fuck and stalking folk.
Creepy as fuck.
Mark is a voyeur, always has been.
So this is just more of the same.
@danyork I'd feel more comfortable seeing a fellow customer in a restaurant with holstered pistol than I would than one wearing those panopticon goggles. safer
@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 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

@ozone89 Oh, no… I very much remember all that. And this has the same kind of sense. The diff now is that it is increasingly harder to tell the glasses apart from regular ones, whereas the Google Glasses were extremely obvious!
@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!
