There are no "smart glasses".

Meta/Facebook and Ray-Ban would like you to call them that, but you shouldn't. You should call them by their proper, accurate name.

That is "creep glasses". People who wear them are "glassholes".

If you see anyone wearing them in public, you should stop what you're doing, point dramatically at them, and loudly say "Hey, this creep is recording you without your permission! He's a glasshole!" [1]. Ignore any protests of "I'm not recording!", because the tell-tale indicator is trivially bypassed, so you *have* to assume every user is recording, all the time.

Mock them. Insult them. Shun them. Make sure everyone knows they're a creep. If you know someone who has creep glasses, make sure they never, ever wear them in your presence. Warn everyone you know about them.

What killed creep glasses the last time around - remember Google Glass? - was social opprobrium. Do it again. Make it *extremely* uncomfortable to be caught wearing them in public, so they *stop* fucking wearing them in public. You want them gathering dust, in shame, in the back of a drawer somewhere. You want the creep owner to feel a deep pang of regret every time they think about them.

[1] It will be a "he". I guarantee it.

Absolutely!

The thing that will kill creep glasses this time is the same thing that killed them last time (Google Glass, remember those?) - public opprobrium.

If you see anyone wearing them, assume they are recording (because they can hide that fact if they want) -- and then, more importantly, ensure everyone around *knows* the creep is recording them without permission.

Do this loudly and visibly. Stop, point directly at them, and yell "HEY, GLASSHOLE - STOP RECORDING PEOPLE WITHOUT PERMISSION" and continue by telling everyone "Hey, that guy <points> is recording people"...

Humiliate them, publicly. Shame them. Ostracize them. If someone you know is using them, go hard, and make sure everyone else you know knows they are doing it.

That is what will make them stop. Make the personal cost to their dignity, social acceptance, embarassment, everything total out more than the creepy voyeurism is worth, and they will drop it like a hot potato.
