And would you make an exception for journalistic purposes? Serious question.

I’d say there are some valid use cases. Like sports? Biking, skiing, anywhere you might use a GoPro. This might work for sports where it is impractical to wear a GoPro. Also if they did this right, if it had a decent hud and zoom, this could be really helpful for the visually impaired or for other disabilities or medical conditions. That’s where these would be really helpful to society. But they never focus on that kind of shit. Instead it’s tech bros who want to sell this as a gimmick people can record themselves fucking, or stupid shit in the bar for their TikTok.

But how do you draw the line between good and bad use cases? Even trying to draw that line brings you on a fast lane to totalitarianism.

lol are you just here to argue? You’re being heavily downvoted in this thread, and I think somewhat unfairly. I’m somewhat supporting your case. Where do you draw the line? I don’t know. Maybe as a starting point we could say anywhere you might wear a GoPro you could wear these? Idk, and that doesn’t cover the visually impaired case. But randomly punching people does seem a bit extreme. There’s plenty of technologies to secretly record people, if someone wants to do it, they can do it. But also there’s the question what all are these things sharing with meta, in some way to map out and track the physical world in their systems and databases.

You can license journalists, same way we do automobile drivers.
