The Nordic country says wearable camera headsets need to be regulated given their privacy risks.

Well then explain it to me, O Wise One. I can’t take the fucking metro or walk down a main street without people filming doors and sewers and I’m bound to be in some of these film/pictures.
I just want to know why I’m supposed to be OUTRAGED at one form of incivility but accept the other?
We live in a world where clipping your nails on the bus during rush hour is normal behavior now.
You might be incidentally in some of those videos/photos, which is fucked up, as the other commenter mentioned, but it’s a lot more difficult to make you the focus of them without your knowledge with a phone or traditional camera than it is with glasses.
Pick up artists are hitting on people, then posting videos of the interactions, either making fun of them if the PUA got rejected or crowing about having been successful, either one of which can lead to serious online harassment, doxxing, and consequences in real life for the victims. People are also taking pictures and videos of intimate situations and sexual interactions with partners who aren’t aware of it, sometimes without even knowing it themselves.
200%, but I don’t see the point in being meh about it, because it’s yet another step in the wrong direction. Not wanting a worst state of affairs doesn’t mean you accept the current one.
