  2. Ich möchte mal die Aufmerksamkeit auf #rayban lenken, die die #Spannerbrillen von #meta ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken in allen #optiker Geschäften parken.

    Die sollten von dem shitstorm deutlich mehr abbekommen. Genau wie die Optiker übrigens.

  3. Hi if you hate Meta perv glasses (which I'm certain you do) and you're in the UK (which I'm less certain of), please consider signing or sharing this petition

    It's a lot higher than when I last looked but has been something of a slow burn.

  4. There is a growing #backlash against #bigtech, particularly #datacentre|s, #Flock #surveillancecamera|s, and AI-infused products like #Meta’s #RayBan|s: This opposition is fuelled by concerns over #privacy, #jobdisplacement, and the perceived lack of #democraticinput in these projects. Despite industry efforts to downplay the backlash, it represents a rejection of Silicon Valley’s core project of rapid AI expansion and data extraction. bloodinthemachine.com/p/with-t #tech #news #ainews

  5. Engadget: Meta is closing a loophole that allowed people to record with their smart glasses’ light covered . “Meta is making yet another change to its smart glasses to try to prevent people from covertly recording others. The company is rolling out a software update that closes one loophole that allowed people to bypass the LED by covering it up while a recording was in progress, according to […]

  6. Denuncia in Germania contro Meta e Ray-Ban: gli #smartglass sotto accusa

    #HateAid ha presentato una denuncia contro #Meta, #RayBan, #Oakley e rivenditori per la vendita degli occhiali smart accusandoli di violare la legge tedesca sulla #privacy (#TDDDG). Nonostante il LED bianco che segnalerebbe le registrazioni, l’organizzazione chiede misure più evidenti, come una marcatura colorata, per rendere riconoscibili i dispositivi.

  8. Leopards Don’t Change Their Spots

    Maybe I’m just too old. Maybe I’m just too cynical. Maybe it’s a combination of both. After yesterday’s news that Meta settled its lawsuit with a bevy of state attorneys general, I find my eyebrow still raised in skepticism.

    The bottom line of the settlement is Meta has to pay $18 billion (a pittance for Meta) over the course of 10 years and make some changes to its structure in an effort to better protect kids. On the surface that sounds like a good move to me. But there are some catches.

    First, that payout is only if other companies like YouTube, TikTok and Snap do the same. Apparently Snap has said it will follow along. The others remain silent as of this writing.

    Second, if the others follow along Meta has put itself in a position to write safety rules for everybody else. Can’t imagine that will go over well.

    Third, I don’t trust anything coming from Meta. This seems like a shrewd PR move to take the heat off and set Meta apart. So far the media seems to be buying it.

    Some of the feature changes might actually do some good. There’s no telling how that plays out. But again, I don’t trust Meta (or the others) when revenue and market share is the line. TechDirt has a good rundown of the feature changes.

    Remember how Meta was born back in the day, initially called Facemash, to essentially evaluate the attractiveness of Harvard students. The company has gone on to fame and riches and is now giving the term “pervert” new life with the reaction to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, now derisively called “pervert glasses.”

    Leopards don’t change their spots. Zuckerberg won’t either.

  9. In case you thought it was just a few creeps who wanted to make their Facebook / Meta "Pervert Glasses" record video without the tell-tale indicator light showing, here is a product mass-produced in a Chinese factory that enables it:

    aliexpress.com/item/1005010286

    Lots of "Excellent product, fits perfectly the Rayban Meta Wayfare, hides the indicator LED well"-type comments. And you get two of them for $8 Canadian, including shipping.

    Someone had to design this product and make the plastic-injection moulds to mass-produce this. That's expensive. They expect to sell many thousands of them.

    So you are, in case you were questioning it, fully justified in assuming anyone wearing Pervert Glasses is, indeed, a pervert and that they are recording you without your consent. The traditional response to this is to non-consensually introduce their nose to your fist, rip the glasses from their face, and stomp them flat.

    And if you see someone do so, NO YOU DIDN'T.

  11. Kein Platz für Spanner-Brillen

    Die Spannerbrille von Meta soll nicht verboten werden. Es geht um die Frage, ob sie bereits verboten ist. In Deutschland dürfen nämlich keine Kameras verkauft werden, die nicht als Kamera erkennbar sind.

    Wow - ich hätte gedacht, dass es irgendwelche Anzeichen gibt, aber ab 3-5 m erkennt man selbst denn nichts mehr, wenn man konzentriert hinschaut. Wie viel weniger im Alltag?

  13. Les « lunettes de pervers » de #Meta
    Could #Meta’s ‘pervert glasses’

    La crainte que ces lunettes ne soient utilisées pour filmer des personnes, en particulier des femmes, à leur insu, et que les vidéos ainsi filmées ne soient diffusées sur les réseaux sociaux.

    Qu'en pensez vous @EUCommission 🤔
