*Let me start by trying to de-demonize or demystify the word and concept of “fighting” for something. If I have the will and means to take up arms and weapons against an aggressor that plots to take away my freedom, I shall gather an army and vanquish my oppressors by force. If a doctor tells me that my only chance of surviving an affliction is by laying absolutely still in bed and doing nothing, I will do just that. There is no meaningless magnitude or amplitude, quantity or quality, or any other measurement, to a person’s fight for a cause that they believe in.

With that out of the way, I’ll go first.

Have been doing of late\ I have been trying to spread the word on the privacy implications of “smart glasses”/Raybans by e-mail to newspapers, restaurants, public installations (libraries, pools, schools, municipal administrations, etc), to county and government.

Obstacles put in place by government\ A few years back, police gained legal right to wiretap and to frisk without a warrant. The prison and parole industry gained virtually limitless access to both convicted and no yet convicted people’s biometric data (only fingerprints, for now) if available in police records for any reason. SIM cards can no longer be obtained, regardless of the type, without supplying your government issued personal identification number. Private pro profit companies can evade GDPR compliance by registering applying for such an exemption, for instance, in order to supply online phone number, address, date of birth, financial information and criminal records to the general public.
