War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Privacy is surveillance
Pervert watches to complement the pervert glasses.
Not quite:
The Facebook pervert glasses are purchased by perverts to shoot videos of their victims, and Facebook rides along to perform their privacy invasion.
Apple’s watch performs the same insane level of privacy invasion but all you get in return is a lousy text summary of what was said. Nothing to jack off on or blackmail someone with like with the Facebook spectacles.
Nothing to jack off on
Oh you sweet summer child 😂
I was thinking things like skimming credit card numbers or some creep hearing you give you phone number to the clerk and stalking you.
Video is different, but the ability to record 24/7 has all kinds of criminal possibilities.

You were specifically talking about pervert uses. That’s not perverted.
or some creep hearing you give you phone number to the clerk and stalking you.
That is perverted though. Touche.
Wtf, it’s called a watch, not a listen
Great, first we had to be on the lookout for assholes wearing Rayban glasses, now we have to be wary of anyone wearing an Apple Watch…
Yeah but its OK when its Apple and not Zuckerberg who are doing it. I have no idea why Apple keeps getting away with everything they do. They could release Metas creepy smartglasses tomorrow in an aluminium finish and people would love them and excuse any privacy concerns.
that’s how you know it’s a cult
The wearer’s Watch emits an audible tone, even in silent mode, to alert those in the vicinity and provides a visual cue for those able to see the face of the device.
Nonetheless, bystanders alerted to the recording – to the extent they recognize the meaning of the tone – have not consented to being recorded, which is a legal requirement in 11 US states that have all-party consent laws.
Ok, so it actively alerts about the recording, unlike “Voice Memos” or any other audio recorder app. And so its on the onus of the user to ensure those in the conversation consent, which is and has always been the case for any sort of recording device. Apple bad, updoots to the right pls
The audio warning chime would also not help ppl who are deaf.
George Orwell only made two mistakes:
- He was off by 42 years
- The surveillance is conducted by the private sector in cahoots with the fascist state for profit rather than directly by the state.

it had always been this way and orwell would have known that if he didn’t buy into the propaganda.
i’ll be forever funny that COINTELPRO was active during orwell’s time so there’s a strong possibility that it elevated his work because of its pro-propaganda messaging.
Nononono apple cares about my privacy! They’re so different from Google!! /s
So can a phone, or a tiny audio recorder.
