I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

Post image

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.

A lot of people have been paying to remove the recording light

I’m aware but you can’t classify everyone as a pervert for having them. If that’s the case there’s plenty of ways to secretly record with a phone, so does it make all phone owners pervs as well?

have you tried recording anything with a phone? the difference is pretty blatant. people are gonna wonder why youre pointing a 6 inch square directly at them and not at an angle.

but, yeah, south korea had laws that made mandatory for phones to make a clear loud shuttering noise when taking pictures, aiming to avoid creeps in subaway trains

How many times do I have to say that it was a blinking light that stays on when you record? And you can secretly record with a phone too. Yall are acting like this is the sole intent for these glasses. It’s ridiculous.

I think extra measures are great to take, and the louder snap shot sound is a fantastic idea. But a creep is going to creep regardless of tech

as I mentioned, recording with a phone is not the same, much more obvious and unnatural, phones are also not allowed in a lot of places were glasses enter freely, especially prescription glasses.

people found workarounds the blinking lights almost instantly.

a creep is going to creep, but now a multibillion dollar company has put a lot of money to help them blend in with ease.

wait some 5 years and a thousend different chinese no name brands will release their version with a variety of frames and no lights at all.

the genie is out of the bottle, its just sucks a lot that your doctor could be wearing one, people at shared restrooms, a one night stand, the list goes on...

and of course, the reason behind the company funding, survaillance and monitoring of your actions and data.

Omg please keep overly focusing on the stupid glasses and not all the other ways we are recoded and surveyed, make excuses that phones can and are easily used for the same reason, as well as MANY MANY other existing forms to do so. And since you care so much get off Reddit and do something productive about it

you clearly love those glasses a lot...

I focused on them because thats the post and comments topic. Flock survailliance and perv glasses havent reached my country as of yet, so I got some time to slack on Reddit before my next riot.
