After reading this article I was super convinced and decided to click that “See Ray-Ban Meta at Amazon” at the end of it to make a purchase ;)
Me to smart glasses owners: if you point your dystopian Facebook surveillance camera to my face, I’ll punch yours.
Have we started hounding people we see walking around with this bullshit in public? You know, like back in the day when Google tried to pull this with Google Glas?
We should probably bring back the term glasshole
I would be in favour of ray-banning every owner from public life.
smart ass glassholes
I think people are starting to agree

Are you serious?
A change.org with 51 signatures? I am usually not a cynical person, but there have never been any change.org petitions that have really changed anything.
Please stop with this online activism bullshit and go out into the real world and organize and actually do something.
Yeah, but it was less than a month old, and it’s nice to help out a cause, no matter how big or small. Getting awareness is there first step, is it not?
No shit go out into the real world, I get that. You’re acting like “I did my part” so now I’m going to kick back and relax. Instead of being so negative, contribute in a useful manner besides barking at people like you’re any better/different.
Whats the point of these glasses, anyway? Do people just think they are so interesting and important that they have to either record everything they do, or be ready to record everything at a moments notice? I haven’t had a picture taken of me since ~2010, so I don’t really understand these sorts of things.
They work reasonably well as an action camera, because the POV is exactly where the user’s eyes are.
Not really any excuse to wear them in daily life though.
I’ve seen a few customers with these glasses. Unfortunately, since they’re an almighty CUSTOMER and I’m just a lowly wage slave, I can’t say or do anything.
Since these glasses were introduced, though, I’ve decided to boycott all ray-ban products, because I’m so incensed that they’re participating in this gross violation of human rights and social norms.
Ray-Ban doesn’t really exist anymore. They’re owned by the same conglomerate that owns all the other glasses brands now. Luxottica.
Fuck them. They did.
