doing legal stuff in public
Just because its legal doesn’t mean its right
Comment on Dumb glasses
lumen@feddit.nl 13 hours agoBut violence isn’t the answer. And certainly not to people doing legal stuff in public. Wearing a Google Glass in private is different though.

See, what’s “right” is a (shared) opinion. One of the consequences of living in a free country is that other people can have their own opinions.
Amid a second Trump presidency that is going very poorly is truly a wild time to start crowing about a person’s rightful freedom to be dumb on purpose.
The smartest thing you did today was delete that comment. What happened, did you have an epiphany?
Have fun beating up journalists! I’m glad you aren’t a politician.
If you think something is wrong then, unless that risk places you at actual risk of harm, you can have that conversation - in public forums, at the ballot box, with your political representatives. If, rather, you want to dictate what you think is right on everyone, with threat of violence then that is something else.
Surveillance is a form of violence that those wearing the glasses are imposing on us.
You need to look up “violence” in the dictionary.
nothing is being dictated. surveillance is violence. if you harm me, maybe i will reduce that harm, also using violence. fuck around and find out logic.
You need to look up “violence” and “harm” in the dictionary.
If you wear this, you’re an agent of the gestapo.
The Gestapo, known for using violence to suppress the activities of those they don’t like without allowing the public to come to a democratic decision on the matter? Interesting.
violence is the answer against people who already commit violence. reducing your sense of privacy and safety is violence. not to mention that this data could be used for ICE’s benefit, which would even add physical violence.
I agreed with you up to this statement, no Karen, getting filmed in public is not violence, even if it’s concealed, Jesus Christ
Filming in public is not a form of violence in and of itself. Have you ever noticed that the public is called “public”, which is the opposite of “private”?
sharing that information with facebook is the violence
That’s a twisted view on the definition of violence… Anyhow, how would you distinguish between people filming for journalistic purposes, people filming and sending it to Meta, and people filming for other reasons? How would you decide who deserves your violence?
When the law abandons the people, the law of the jungle returns.
One of those people
?
A loser
Are you calling me a loser? If so, would you care explaining why you consider me a loser?

All I’m saying is last time this tech trend came around, enough people who had a problem with it took drastic actions that directly affected the popularity of wearing a spycam on your face.
Wouldn’t surprise or upset me if history repeated itself.

Wouldn’t surprise me either. But it’s a hugely illogical reaction.

Its not. I wish we lived in a world where we could be trusted with things like this, but we dont.
I really want a camera on my face and a HUD so I can live life more like a video game with screenshots, but we as a species have shown time and time again that we can’t behave.
Id rather nobody have one.

Look, taking such glasses into a locker room is a problem. But someone wearing them in public is not. Anyone punching someone who does that should be taken to jail, simple as that.

You can make the claim that it’s immoral or something, but you cannot claim it’s illogical.

How is it illogical if it worked? It might be immoral, but there’s a clear through-line of cause and effect.
lumen@feddit.nl 11 hours ago
It’s illogical because you’re being recorded for far more nefarious purposes anyways.

Humans are illogical in most cases. It’s something you have to put up with when living in a society.
