    It’s not even a personal camera. The footage is uploaded to Facebook where they have humans categorize and tag it.

      Exactly. There is zero way for those glasses to remain HIPAA-compliant, because everything you do is uploaded to Meta’s servers.

        I remember a bunch of DateLine exposeés about doctors who used hidden cameras to record patients.

        What does it matter if that camera was sold by Facebook?

          How about we accept neither as being appropriate.

          Because if a doctor puts up a hidden camera only the doctor (and anyone they might personally share the footage with) can see it. With those glasses everything goes through Meta’s servers and we don’t know who has access to the footage.

          So is say the scope of the invasion of privacy is the difference.
