Comment on Dumb glasses
mrnobody@reddthat.com 3 days agoHaha yeah my bad no context.
My concern and reason for signing was, my kid in hs said a guy in class was using them, joking about use for a test. Then someone commented if he was uploading pics of his gf yet (popular girl I assume)and I really grew concerned. I totally get kids joking around, but at the point of under age limit, where do you draw the line is the device is always recording data? You could make moderators unintentionally view CP to a degree.
Yes, “public” doesn’t immediately scream privacy, however, when i walk around the city, NOBODY knows who I am. They won’t remember my face, don’t know my name, address, etc. So, there’s privacy from humans since we don’t all wear name tags with our phone number or address.
Overhearing a conversion is one thing, but recording it is a whole other issue! What about self incrimination? What about no consent from being recorded? I think of a show, Impractical Jokers, where they do a lot of stuff in public, and sometimes faces are blurred likely bc that person didn’t consent. Why would these social media stuff be any different?!
Idk, I think It’s awful, and worse so since Zuck pushed back on the lawsuit to get gov regulation in social media and age verification. To me, they’re buying politicians left and right, so they’ll get their way, but it’s “security theater” action basically. Especially data harvesting! Nothing more.
