EU rules now require new cars to include driver-facing distraction cameras, but regulators have not clearly defined how related data is handled or retained. 🚗
The systems process attention locally under the rules, yet privacy questions remain over audits, retention limits, and transparency. 🔒

I tempi cambiano.

Un tempo Robin Hood combatteva per restituire valore alle persone.

Oggi forse distribuirebbe qualcosa di diverso:

📚 conoscenza
🔐 self-custody
🧠 spirito critico

Perché la libertà che non comprendi può essere tolta.

Quella che comprendi diventa parte di te.

"The criticism of eye-worn gadgets capable of surveillance isn't new, though the online discourse — "Meta Glasses" repeatedly trended on Meta's own Threads app last week, for the wrong reasons — seems to have intensified following the release of Meta's latest cheaper lineup, as well as reports about an unreleased facial recognition feature for the product. For whatever reason, this time the backlash seems to be having a real effect.

Engadget spoke with five creators, photographers and others who were once enthusiastic about Meta's smart glasses about how public perception has changed their habits.

"A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product," Danielle, a Florida-based creator and travel host who asked to be identified by first name only, told Engadget. Initially she enjoyed using her smart glasses for capturing travel content from the international trips she hosts. Then she read a story about how contractors working for Meta said they had been tasked with reviewing intimate images and other sensitive details captured by glasses owners.

Further reporting of men using Meta-branded glasses to film videos of themselves harassing women in public sealed the deal. She says she hasn't used them since. "I wouldn't feel comfortable around somebody wearing them, so I wouldn't expect anybody to be comfortable around me wearing them, no matter where I am.
(...)
Other creators who have previously purchased the frames now say they are using the product less often due to fears that people around them will assume they're doing something "creepy."

Christian Eisenbarth is a Los Angeles-based videographer who was gifted a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses by his girlfriend. He says that while he had previously been eyeing a pair for use on his video shoots, he has yet to use them outside of his home "mainly due to being afraid of being labeled as a creep.""

We live in the sort of timeline where I had to spend extra effort while shopping for my new prescription glasses frame to make sure it was unambiguously clear that these aren't surveillance pervert glasses.

Yep. We're there.

These horrifying non-consensual surveillance glasses are everywhere now. That's life now. I hate it 🤓
