Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I'm just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.

Are you for real? Or just a Meta bot? Can't you see the difference between a camera in a phone, that is more or less obvious when pointed to film a person, and a camera mounted in glasses? For real?

Or are you suggesting that if we have let phones with cameras be, we should tolerate another escalation in the fight against privacy?

Please let me know which is it?! Im really curious.

You're missing the point entirely.
