    What’s the difference between these glasses and a dashcam? Both are around to protect yourself.

      Take a look at all those dashcam subreddits and Youtubes and you will see that dashcams can also be problematic. There are so many videos showing random persons doing something on the street or people having medical issues. And there are also those creepy stalker sexual harassment accounts who are filming women in public with their cams

        Wait, they arent (don’t have to be) designed with minimal storage for only a few seconds, only accessible after a crash?

          Lol no, why would they? They’re just compact video cameras. No one is gonna spend extra money for a camera that only works in an accident.

              I was in an accident once. Another driver did a blind right turn into the center lane in front of me, past a stopped bus in the curb lane. There was no issue assigning fault because the bus driver had a dash cam with the ability to record on demand. If things worked like you would like, that wouldn’t be the case.

              There are perfectly valid reasons to record dash cam footage other than an accident you are personally a part of. And any issues you have with dash cams could be almost as easily, if not more easily, done with another camera-based device.

      Protect yourself from what and at what price?
      Oh, the price (privacy violation) will be paid by others - how convenient!
      If anything Meta glasses endanger those who wear them…

      Yeah, it’s creepy and weird, but we already have cameras watching and recording your every move. I don’t see how this really changes anything.

      We probably can’t stop it from happening, but we can make it very socially unacceptable, and we can make some behaviors illegal.

        Never accept blanket mass surveillance simply because “we already have cameras doing this”.

          I’m just saying it’s a huge genie, already out of the bottle. Good luck getting control of it now.
