Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they’re actually Meta’s new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

People who don’t understand that they already lost their privacy years ago: “GASP, this means someone could be recording me!”

You know privacy isn’t just a binary thing, right?

Otherwise I’d be posting a picture of you using your phone on the toilet.

Not necessarily. I can control my devices and prevent them from spying on me.

I can install Linux on my PC and Graphene on my phone and refuse to use Google, Apple, and Meta products and services. I can choose to use local home automation products and cameras.

What I can’t do is stop other people from recording me throughout my daily life and reporting my activities back to said corporations.
