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.

A sign on a store window indicates "NO META GLASSES," featuring images of different sunglasses models. It also includes instructions to respect staff by asking permission before taking pictures or videos, with a friendly "Thank you!" at the bottom.

@danyork Given the ways those glasses can be used to creep on women and upload the videos later, leading to more harrassment, this is a good thing.

Yes there are accessibility uses, but like with the first iteration of google glasses, creeps ruined it for everyone else.

Smart Glasses and Privacy: Wearable Surveillance and Disclosure Issues

If you scroll through any popular social media app, you've probably seen the format: a man approaches a woman in public (at a shop, on a beach, in an airport lounge) and tries to chat her up, flirt, "rizz her up,” as the kids say. The footage is shot from his perspective, often at close range, and it looks casual, almost candid. What the women in these videos frequently don't know is that they're being recorded at all. The camera isn't a phone held at arm's length; it's a pair of smart glasses that look like ordinary eyewear.
