Yeah that wasn’t humanity’s brightest moment.
Yeah, putting cameras in glasses is a really stupid idea
People hitting other people because they don’t like whatever legal activities the other person is undertaking, that’s stupid.
You would have fought for the confederacy because it was legal to own slaves
No? I just don’t think filming in a public place is wrong. Why would it be? No one has been able to provide a reason.
Stopped this bullshit for a decade or so
Stop advocating violence against people who might be recording video in public, just because the device doing it is on their face.
A clear violation of the social contract deserves a swift response. Those glasses come off your face, and onto the pavement.
No they don’t. I might actually go film on the sidewalk just outside your home, and there would be nothing at all you can do about it.
Who made this social contract? I certainly didn’t. You want to be able to tell everyone else what the social contract is, and assault them if they don’t comply.
Fascist.
You actually should advocate for violence against people who are violating your rights
What right would be violated here exactly?
You don’t have the right not to be filmed in public. Do you punch every person filming in public? and if you punch someone wearing the glasses, most likely they weren’t even recording.
It’s easy to see someone holding up a camera or cell phone making it obvious they are recording. If you don’t want to be recorded, you can just stay the fuck away from them. You can’t avoid cameras/recording devices you can’t see. Fuck meta, and fuck anyone else wearing their garbage, privacy invading glasses.
Yeah, it’ll be really hard to spot the giant dorky glasses with the laser beam recording LED.
Of course, in practice you don’t behave differently when you spot someone holding their phone up in the street, because you’re already behaving like you’re being watched because you’re in fucking public.
But violence isn’t the answer. And certainly not to people doing legal stuff in public. Wearing a Google Glass in private is different though.
Just because its legal doesn’t mean its right
See, what’s “right” is a (shared) opinion. One of the consequences of living in a free country is that other people can have their own opinions.
If you think something is wrong then, unless that risk places you at actual risk of harm, you can have that conversation - in public forums, at the ballot box, with your political representatives. If, rather, you want to dictate what you think is right on everyone, with threat of violence then that is something else.
One of those people
?
All I’m saying is last time this tech trend came around, enough people who had a problem with it took drastic actions that directly affected the popularity of wearing a spycam on your face.
Wouldn’t surprise or upset me if history repeated itself.
Wouldn’t surprise me either. But it’s a hugely illogical reaction.
