      They’re literal always-on surveillance that can collect faces, voices and things like local Bluetooth devices or WiFi APs as they walk around.

      Surveillance-capitalism wet dream, because they don’t just collect data on the wearer - but everyone they come near.

              Yeah and after your phones Bluetooth was recorded multiple times at your home, it can be linked to you. And when it is recorded somewhere else they can create a movement profile of you. This only works if they have a lot of data collectors at many different places. Like people walking around with their glases for example.

      They’re cameras and microphones and local compute that you don’t actually control rented from an evil corporation.

          Bro do you seriously need convincing that walking eye-level cameras that record and tag every fucking person you meet on the street and feed that info to Meta is evil? Some asshole walks past you and bam, real-time geotag. Doesn’t really matter if you’re not on facebook after it gets into the hands of data brokers anyway. wtf

          Do you walk around with your phone constantly in your hands, recording everything, everywhere, all of the time?

          It is illegal in a good number of places to film, record, surveil people without their consent or a warrant or some kind of exceptional circumstances.
