Buried in the copy:
The overarching problem is that the devices can be hard to spot, especially if they’ve been modified to disable their recording light. (Kids might also opt for lower-tech light blockers like cheap stickers.)
We need better laws.

In spades, there used to be, in common law, a requirement for third party consent to be photographed if profit ensued, Mayhap that needs resurrection.
In one video, a student even filmed himself dropping his smartphone into one of the pouches that schools use to confiscate phones during class — suggesting that smart glasses are being used by students in spaces where teachers are seeking to limit electronic devices.
Gee! Who could possibly have seen that coming… I mean, clearly there was no way for anyone to imagine such a possibility!! And certainly not a company who employs teams of psychologists!
Glassholes aside -> top photo is a stock image. But I’ve seen lots of times where well meaning ppl try to anonymize a photo with black-bars over eyes like that, or a blur that can be reversed like spirals or w/e. Maybe that was effective long ago. Today, with such powerful FR tech, that won’t do the job.
I want to see a huge culture shift. Where we have huge peer pressure against ever u/l’ing somebody without their consent. Ever.

Hard agree, but it’s the same as just taking photos with a phone without consent of third parties, but on your face.
Over on another channel, a teacher is filmed butting in as a boy records himself asking a passing girl for her number. The teacher is completely unaware that the boy is recording the encounter for content — and instead interrupts the boy’s “approach,” as pickup artists call it, to shake his hand and congratulate him on his “confidence.”
WTF
It’s crazy how awful adults can be.
Same demographic doing Epstein and Diddy jokes perpetuating the same shit that enables predators. Who could’ve guessed?
I’m genuinely terrified by those… Any solution to avoid them besides looking closely at everyone wearing glasses?
I know there are apps that try to detect them but I don’t want to leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone 24/7
In my experience, those apps don’t detect immediately, sometimes only alarming beyond 5 mins after contact. I have to assume by default to save power the scans are rate limited, like with WiFi scans.
Those apps have to be allowed to scan when the glasses are transmitting to detect them, providing limited success.
