Judge Carolyn Kuhl, who is presiding over the trial, ordered anyone in the courtroom wearing AI glasses to immediately remove them, noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned.
“This is very serious,” she said.
Alternative to CBS.
Get ‘em, Judge!
Eww. CBS is linking to Free Press articles. What next ABC News and Epoch News?!?
Scolding without jailtime = slap on wrist.
A demand for removal and threat of being held in contempt seems like the appropriate response to bringing a camera in, no matter who you are.
It does matter who they are!
The judge said not to bring something in and they clearly ignored the judge’s directions and it is their job to comply with the judge’s directions. They are not some random person off the street.
I dont disagree, and I think they should face punishment for what they’ve done already… But what’s supposed to happen here? Jail time specifically for bringing a camera? I dont get it.
Yes, they should get jail time for being in contempt of court because they are professionals and should be held to a higher standard than people off the street.
A person off the street should get a warning. Professionals should be expected to follow a judge’s orders.
Fair enough. Just let me know when it’s guillotine time, thats what I’m here for.
I must have forgotten that there is literally no middle ground between a verbal warning and execution.
To be clear I want to behead these assholes.
a small amount of jailtime is a slap on the wrist. A scolding is nothing.
I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.
* depends on the amount of course
It’s not even a slap on the wrist.
Yeah exactly. It’s a scolding. Something certain types have learned to ignore in their teens.
Jailtime for wearing glasses that can record videos in the courtroom?
Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?
The judge made it clear no cameras or recording equipment were allowed in the session and they brought wearable cameras that have facial recognition capabilities. That is the definition of contempt of court.
Don’t be obtuse.
How much jail time was spent in 2025 by inmates held for contempt of court?
But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.
If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.
Calling them “glasses” is such a weasel word. No one cares at all that they are wearing glasses, they are wearing CAMERAS in a place where recording is strictly prohibited.
I sincerely hope that you are going out of your way to troll, and don’t actually have thoughts that are this small and poorly formed.
Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not “liking” them. That’s what this is all about. That’s what all this is about. We simply don’t like people. No, it’s not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don’t like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they’re all really decent people inside, it’s us that’s the problem. /s
Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as “rational” and “middle of the road” in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.
Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?
A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?
You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.
It’s a courtroom, not a voting booth.
No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.
Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?
No one is even making the arguments that you are arguing against other than you…
Choads. All of them.
That’ll teach him.
Zucc’s ‘product’ is probably the worst imo. At least Amazon gets you stuff at your doorstep. Zucc is just slop peddler m
It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.
Wow, they are all in on this psycho bullshit aren’t they
Now that they were scolded, much will change.
Piece of shit post.
Never pass up an opportunity for getting in the news. Free advertising
Wait, sorry for my ignorance. But wasn’t this televised?
Read the article.
Judge ordered no cameras in the court, and even if they were allowed, why would a judge allow one party to bring their own cameras that have facial recognition capabilities?
Camera in courtrooms are for transparency with the public, not for the defense to get facial scans of jurors and witnesses.
All it said was. Cameras not allowed unless the judge says so. not that this judge didn’t allow. And a judge being petty as a way of letting a billionaire get away with anything they want is pretty on point for the American justice system.
The use of recording devices and cameras is generally banned in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Directly from the article.
“Judicial officers have the discretion to place limitations on video recording and photography in their courtroom,”
Generally, and discretion. And also… Performative… Has been the usual kid gloves these techbro douchebag have been “disciplined” by the courts. So I was wondering if this was the case. The article wasn’t clear. And using meta glasses wouldn’t stop these guys from just grabbing all the cell phone data and cross reference with the massive database they all possess.
According to the articles I read, sure doesn’t seem like it. ironic, I know. The articles we’re getting are made by journalists who are listening and writing down what they see.
Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.
Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they’ve just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.
Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.
Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that’s actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.
They probably just don’t even realize they’re wearing them, it’s just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
Don’t stick up for the zuck, he’s got fucking billions to pour into other people doing it for him.
Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by a good marketing opportunity.
