It's up to the govts to protect the rights of the people. If you're in the US, you're already on the verge of losing all rights anyway. For the rest of the world, there's no reason to think we couldn't regulate it in a reasonably privacy-friendly way. Local face tagging and recognition could work without cloud access, so that you'd only have access to information you keyed in yourself about somebody.
You're totally right in principle.
But the conversation for this pair of glasses is different, because of Meta.
If anyone believes that Meta obeys their local laws, please refer them my way for a pyramid business opportunity...(I believe I could easily rip them off, because I believe they are suckers.)
The EU has proven very willing to levy increasingly large fines against the tech giants until they behave.
You act like America is the only place in the world where tech is being used for mass surveillance.
Your own governments are doing it to you too, whether or not it’s legal.
Wake up, they don’t give a single fuck about you.
