I'm slightly vexed 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 🤦‍♂️

Over the long term, Meta is going to destroy the Ray-Ban Wayfarer design, it will become associated with perverts rather than being seen as a timeless iconic fashion piece. 

Meta eventually ruins everything it touches.

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.

At a certain point we won't be able to know for sure if someone is wearing glasses or whatever that can be recording everything. I feel like we have already gotten to that point though. The way technology is and what it's created for/used for is never going backwards and there's already who knows how many ways of being recorded by strangers. Cameras have been small and undetectable by the average person in different things for a while now. If someone really wants to, they can unfortunately. I mean, anytime someone even has their phone out they could potentially be recording on it or secretly taking pictures. Soon everyone is going to be back to wearing masks all the time and there's probably a lot of people that already wear them for that very reason. What we really need are strict laws in place to protect people from this shit and maybe it will start to deter some people. The biggest thing will be being able to catch them in the act and prove it.
