One of my favorite details was near the end of the article, where Meta plays dumb when asked about this issue, and feigning an inability to find the abusers of the glasses that 404 Media had identified:

"After reaching out to Meta for comment, the company asked me for examples of the videos, indicating that it wasn’t able to find them itself. Meta then removed the account I flagged, as well as other accounts by the same creator, who apparently set up multiple accounts in preparation for moderation."

Just top-notch scumbaggery here, from meta and from these individuals going around in public wearing them.

Texted my sister!

So apparently he hasn’t replaced them yet and they are still broken.

They are VERY much still in an alpha state it seems.

My sister has a hope that they will be good at reading text or helping identify people later on in the technology but are still very much a WIP for a vision impaired tool.

Yeah. Thanks for the reply. Google glass had so much potential to help people like 10 years ago. But it was just tech bro bullshit and people making amateur porn. Sadly this time, I suspect it will be the same thing all over again.

I hope it helps your brother.
