I’m never buying Ray Bans again. I don’t want to be associated, fuck Ray Bans for taking that cash.

What I told the guy at the optician last month. "Let's skip the RayBan rack all together."

Good.
Edit; I would add that people using these glasses should get ostracised. Point and laugh at them.

I just don't understand why they even tried. Google already proved in 2013 that people think you're an asshole for wearing things like this, even having the term "glasshole" come about.
Same mental disorder, different CEO?

And they should be.
There is an Android app that looks for the Bluetooth signatures of these glasses and alerts if they are nearby. Hopefully something exists on iOS devices as well.
Edit: The app is called Nearby Glasses and it is available on iOS and Android.

Good. Anyone caught wearing those in public should have them knocked the fuck off their faces...
I dont think this is deserving of violence, shouting "YO THIS PERVERT IS CREATING PORN OF ME ON HIS GLASSES" and making a big scene of it should be fun

Specifically identifying the “pervert glasses” as “pervert Meta Ray-bans” would kill these products even faster. Associating Ray-bans with perversion would surely be a deal breaker.

"A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product."
Ruined? They're using it for it's designed purpose...
also it has the stigma of Zuckerberg using his companies as datamining, spying, right wing peddling platforms. his name was enough to derail anything that comes out of meta.
"A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product."
That's men acting as they intended using a product as intended. There is no plot twist here.

Next up: campaigns to normalize privacy violations IRL too, because that's separate from digital.
Also, please Flock and Ring too.

Good.
Ah hell. My only pair of sunglasses is a 5 year old pair of raybans.
I'd better not get "pervert glasses" shouted at me.

It's probably because the fucking glasses were used by the worst people at first. They were used by dudebros and weirdos who wish to do harm towards others. That's why people called them Perv glasses. Which isn't surprisng given Zuckerberg's whole M.O.
It's nice to see no one learned anything from Google Glass. This is why we're fucked as a species...

The amusing thing is put a gopro on your bike helmet, dashcam in your car? No problem. Camera on your face? Oh hells no.
