I love how they put a pic of “Epstein File Mark” in the article ;)
Uh oh, Mark’s about to lose his glasses.
A completely unenforceable idea driven by moral panic. We’re already seeing plenty of cheap ones on temu, and other more covert types of cameras have been available for years. (Look up pen cameras on Amazon, you’ll look at anyone with a pen in their shirt pocket very differently for the rest of your life)
Not to mention there’s already open source 3d printed smart glasses. Which means this would no doubt lead to calls for ID checks to buy a 3d printer.
“Upload your ID for every transaction to prove you’re not a sex offender”.
When buying a gun and/or pervert glasses, yes, sounds very reasonable?
Either we believe in giving people the chance to become functioning citizens of society again or we don’t. I’d argue the “don’t” doesn’t seem to work out too well for the Americans. Europe, meanwhile taking the former attitude, has far better recidivism rates.
With smart glasses, everyone’s a sex offender.
I know it’s a hot-take… But how about we (Earth) ban smart glasses.
Good thing they won’t be able to buy used.
