This is still surveillance, just with audio instead of video.
But this actually creates a new problem: wearers of pervert glasses have plausible deniability. “Are you filming me?” “Who, me? Oh no, these ones don’t have cameras. Trust me”.

Don’t forget logging every Bluetooth and WiFi device (mobile and hardwired) with location and timestamp and sending it all to meta for “tailoring ads”

Great! A product for people who may not be perverts but like sucking the cock of an evil corporation!

comes with wifi/lidar to "monitor surroundings as home wifi has been shown to form a picture based on the singals around the wifi hotspot.
2 monthsOh shit, people think we’re creepy like flock. Let’s do what flock is working towards and drop the camera and move towards EVERY OTHER FORM OF FUCKING TRACKING AND SELLING DATA.

They’re just turning them into sunglasses lol! I’m sure they’ll find a way to make lense shading a subscription though.
My favourite part of this is that Zuck was so out of ideas that he tried to reinvent Google Glass at great expense and is running into exactly the same social brick wall that project did.

To be fair, people have become more stupid / subservient, to the point I can see why someone would think “let’s try that again”.
Went to get glasses and made a big point of avoiding Ray Bands for taking Facebook money to make pervert glasses. Hoping it’s not the first time they’ve heard that.
I do actually like the classic nerd look of their glasses, but yeah, fuck that.

FYI, Ray Ban is just a brand name owned by the same company that owns most well known glasses brands.
Once you realize how consolidated the eyeglass industry is its a lot harder to find truly independent brands.
I wonder what the fallout from all this failed voyerism tech will be? What unexpected uses will we find for this spy shit? Ruview already looks like an interesting alternative to mmWave security sensors. What else can we come up with?

If it wasn’t going through their servers, i could stand to use it for drone flights, augmented reality GPS directions, monitoring shit at work, I’d not even pull my phone out of my pocket if I could get away wiht it.
Exactly. Once they give up on it we’ll see copycat tech without their restrictions.

One, there’s only a couple of two party states. Two, that only applies to telecommunications. You can secretly record audio and video anywhere that it’s legal to unsecretly record it.
Not trying to be argumentative or pedantic, but:
- There are eleven states (California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington), covering around 1/3rd of the US population with all-party-consent wiretap laws.
- States have slightly different wording, but like hidden camera statutes, it typically applies to electronically recorded communications and not just telecommunications.
- That isn’t really correct. I assume you’re talking about the exception where there is no expectation of privacy. There are separate hidden camera laws that require disclosure at times even in public places, and even for wiretap some statutes are written in such a way that even public places with semi-private areas (e.g., a separated dinner table at a restaurant where your conversation may not be heard by others) may still support an expectation of privacy.
In all, since wiretap statutes are criminal statutes and Meta executives in theory could be charged if Meta is not only enabling but also directly receiving recordings from users, it’s a pretty crazy risk they’re taking.

Great. Now I not only have to listen to other people in public talking on their phones but now talking to their glasses.

How’s it supposed to do Augmented Reality without a camera?
They don’t do AR anyway. They’re just glasses with a camera, a mic, and headphones.
