people have the right to do things you personally disapprove of
meanwhile, literally in the headline:
Worse, it can also make the people around you uneasy.
no one is saying you don’t have “the right” to wear this Spyware Pendant in your one-party consent state.
people are saying it’s creepy and you’re jumping in defending it with “well, technically, it’s not illegal, depending on state law”. you’re just completely missing the point entirely.
this is like, if someone wrote an article about how people are annoyed by someone microwaving fish in the office cafeteria, you chimed in with “well they can simply quit and find a different job where people don’t microwave fish at the office”.
No, that comment is pointless regardless. Of course people can do things I don’t like. That was never in question. That does not mean they are free from consequences or societal repercussions.

It's not universal. Where I live it's one-party consent.

OK? Again the comment of “Don’t use it” is even more pointless if you live in a single party consent state.

But my comment about how people have the right to do things you personally disapprove of is even more pointful.
