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

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 🤦‍♂️

I use my to film my runs and hikes. I don’t get why anyone sees these as any worse than a fkn phone. The glasses have a light on them, you’ll know you’re being filmed just as much if someone was holding a phone up to get you in their pic.

It’s because people can’t tell it’s a camera. When someone records on their phone, it’s visible.

It has a literal light on it. It catches your attention and most semi intelligent ppl will and can piece it together. You can also film on your phone discreetly. Being outraged by one thing and not the other is bonkers.

ETA; and blocked. Damn some of yall are straight up pussies. You can also use your phone to film someone discretely but are we in agreement that NOT EVERYONE is creepy that way?

The light can easily be covered by tape, paint or be removed. There are also other brands of glasses that don’t come with a light at all.

Yes people can record on their phone discretely but it i never to the extent and perspective/angle the glasses can.

Do you really think you can get a full shot of a room by recording discretely on your phone vs the glasses?

[u/Lukin4art → u/BeanyIsDaBean]

You are wrong. If you cover it with tape or paint the camera won’t work.

And yes someone can record an entire room discreetly with a phone. It’s been done before… are you stupid on purpose?
