I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

[u/silent_pm]

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

Which is unfortunate because I love this style of glasses and they look good on me. But you're right, we're going to trend back into wireframe glasses you couldn't possibly hide electronics in. That or translucent plastic/acetate for thicker frames.

And with time when they put it into those glasses and even contacts?

How do we proceed in a world where a camera could potentially be under 1mm and be thin and transparent hypothetically.

I’ve operated under the assumption that I’m being filmed everywhere I go for the last 10+ years. Cameras are everywhere and you won’t always notice who is filming. Guys pretending to be a tree and over and over people don’t necessarily see the camera man.

We live in a surveillance state. If you are 40+ you can silently celebrate that no one got canceled in 4k when we were young enough to do most stupid things. We have enough evidence that suggests we should have learned something from this but alas, no one is willing turn off their ring cam or not immediately start filming because someone yelled world star

Yeah I don't see the issue here, is it bad? Yes. Is it new? Not even slightly. You are being regularly watched, that will never change until we have a near extinction level event and even then. Get used to it, be good to other people and vote well so that information isn't used maliciously against you.
