That’s not what is being discussed though (streaming video to fb/google/government/etc).
That’s where it would start crossing the line into surveillance, which has strict laws around it.
You think Facebook smart glasses aren't sending the video anywhere? Their entire business model is harvesting data on people.
You think they are? How?
The same way smartphones do, either streaming it or by uploading to whatever cloud "backup" they're connected to. Again, I should not have to explain this to you.
They’re factually not though. If you’ve somehow caught them doing it, transferring gigs and gigs and gigs of data per hour, provide the evidence please. These claims of yours are simple to prove if true.
They factually are. Stop fucking lying. It to 10 seconds to look this up. https://www.meta.com/help/ai-glasses/1384089832459749/
That’s if you choose to live stream. You spoke like it was doing it all the time.
Unless these companies are offering some means for the rest of us to restrict smart glass wearers from filming whenever the fuck they want the only sane option is to treat them as if they are doing it all the time.
