Yeah I understand hating the Meta glasses, but what, are we going to destroy every camera we find in the wild? This is a small piece of a larger problem and I’m just not sure assaulting a stranger on the subway is the way to go about it.
If we normalize assaulting people that want to walk around with cameras on their face being creepy then less people will walk around doing that. Sometimes the solution is as simple as some minor violence.
Very true, this is why we need people advocating for privacy law. I think those responding don’t understand I’m on their side, I’m just approaching it from a constructive point of view.
I’m pretty sure they do. That comes along with the word “public”. This sounds like ICE telling observers to stop filming.
Collecting the footage from thousands of cameras and turning it into a giant surveillance system to track everyone is a different matter, and that’s what needs to be made illegal.
Yeah my first thought was “you know what? Now that you mention it, I’d be more than happy with that. I didn’t even think of it as an option but yeah, sure, let’s give it a go”
I’m all for this but we should start with all of the cameras owned by businesses and the government. If anyone at all should be allowed to record in public it is we the people.
Being stuck inside a system does not make one a hypocrite to criticize it from within the system. Nor would one act of self immolation achieve anything but dying pointlessly in a fire. The prison guards will merely shovel your remains into a bucket. People like you will continue to goad other miserable prisoners into more pointless acts of self destruction for short term personal gratification.
We’re so deep into the technological surveillance state that people like you can’t even see that there was once a world outside these prison walls. You’ve accepted your fate. Maybe you we’re born into it. Maybe it’s been so long that you’ve forgotten it’s not normal to have all this forced upon us. In this world where surveillance state technology is required, smartphones are now integrated into critical needs of daily life. From government to financial institutions to workplace. You cannot live without it short of going inawoods Ted K style. At which point the prison guards are likely to descend upon your log cabin with the full military force of the state and corporate apparatus.
Ultimately these acts of immolation achieve nothing against the system itself but demonstrate the futility that we’re all stuck inside a prison. Seems like you thought you had a really clever retort there. You don’t. It’s you who are the fool.
Are you for real? Or just a Meta bot?
Can’t you see the difference between a camera in a phone, that is more or less obvious when pointed to film a person, and a camera mounted in glasses?
For real?
Or are you suggesting that if we have let phones with cameras be, we should tolerate another escalation in the fight against privacy?
Please let me know which is it?! Im really curious.

Absolutely you should, and absolutely it is.
Every little bit helps! If we all pitch in, many hands make light work!

If it is from a mega corp that is known for spying on people: absolutely
They have no right for cameras in public.
I’m pretty sure they do. That comes along with the word “public”. This sounds like ICE telling observers to stop filming.

I would be perfectly fine with filming in public being illegal without concent with the expection of public officials
They’re the same picture
Is that an option? If so, yes
Yes.
Skibidi are the good guys?
I think there’s even an achievement for doing that.

That is so Project Mayhem.
Humans are shittier, mobile cameras, so I agree. The planet needs a rest from humanity.

Start with your phone then.

If I could get a phone without one I would.
I don’t recall ever having used the damn thing, all it does is stick out like a wart making the phone unsightly and unnecessarily thick.
And the other, even more useless one is just poking an extremely irritating hole on the screen.
They’re probably scratched beyond any usability anyway, since for some reason cases and screen protectors refuse to cover them.
If you want a phone without camera, wifi or audio, just install Linux on it /s
That’s not “in the wild”. Your camera phone on the other hand…
The second you touch someone else’s you better believe they are going for yours.
If you think that someone else’s is in the wild, but yours isn’t, you are just a useless hypocrite.
Are you explaining yourself?
How many flock cameras and ring cameras did she pass that day lol (has NYC banned them?)
When Google Glass was a thing people with assistive vision technologies were being attacked too.
I find it interesting that we only know of this because someone recorded the guy.
He recorded himself after the incident.

You’re missing the point entirely.
Yes
