Yeah, we have Meta glasses here in Europe, just no AI features (yet). You can take pictures and video basically wherever. A lot of right wing “influencer” types have been using them to target and take photos/record “undesirable” people in public and post them online.

Being recorded by public cameras with full knowledge vs being recorded by a private citizens in public with discrete recording devices are two very different things. Everyone was outraged with Google Glass, where is that energy for these fugly Meta Raybans?

Personal experience, some shithead tried to “discreetly” record me because I had a keffiyeh in Amsterdam. Fortunately it’s been raining here all week and I had a hat and rainhoodie on, plus a mask. Saw his sunglass light turn on (I was already suspicious, why tf is he wearing sunglasses in the rain), started yelling at him, and he bolted when the station security showed up.
