I see so many people (mostly men, this isn't random) talking about how Meta's Ray-Ban glasses are "incredible" or "still not ready" yet, I don't see anyone calling it what it is: Voyeurism.
This technology will increase voyeurism and stalking aggressions in unacceptable ways. These glasses are a voyeur's dream weapon. Also a doxxer's and stalker's dream weapon.
Why are our laws and cultures not protecting us against this?
When my business opens in the spring, we will have a separate sign next to our usual photo policy sign explicitly banning those glasses, whether they are on or off. And if they are someone's only prescription glasses, all the better. We don't need their business and it will send a message that they should've thought about this beforehand.
We need to make these things marks of shame and the people who wear them pariahs.
