Two stories, side by side, in the NY Times Technology section.

@aristot73 how does that even begin to comply with GDPR? Who do you ask to exercise your right to be forgotten? The owner of the glasses?

@SteveBellovin Time to destroy every pair of chunky Ray Bans we see. In the name of privacy.

Meta can track every single person, not just their willing victims, with this technology. It has to be prevented. If that means a few broken noses, then so be it.

@SteveBellovin How it started «» How it's going

[stevebellovin@infosec.exchange]

@aristot73 The owner of the glasses has collected some data and "voluntarily" shared it with Meta. Legally, I think it's the same as if they simply posted something to Facebook tagging you as someone they saw. (Note that I'm not a real lawyer; I'm just a genuine fake lawyer.)

@SteveBellovin

It’s just so crazy right that the world is covered in cameras and everything is tracked 24 / 7

We don’t have unless we work for it and even then it’s might be impossible to have a moment of solitude free of the watchful eye of billionaires seeking to know everything we do everything we think and pushing us to their total domination

@SteveBellovin They can't spy on me if I'm hidden underground in the woods, right? Yes I'll be dead but they won't be spying on my corpse.

@SteveBellovin

We will need new tech to fight the oligarchy. How do I say I think I know what it is only lacking the means to make it to fruition.

@SteveBellovin
Will the Meta Smart Glasses identify ICE agents or other cops?

Will the Meta Smart Glasses record and archive ICE violence on the public?

I suspect that identification will be a one-way street benefitting Meta.

Are you attempting to enforce constitutional rights under the regime? Too bad for you. Meta is in control: ID for me, none for thee.

@SteveBellovin I first saw this second headline as "Ice turns to..", which is just as plausible, because we're all living in an oppressive theocracy now.

[theoneswit@det.social]

@SteveBellovin Iran? why looking at Iran? Look at the fashist states of america and Ice, they use even doorbells to track people.

Dictators are brown.

White men are “god’s envoys”, “infiltrators in the pedophile cabal” “best presidents ever” “great white hopes” “templars” “patriots” “blood cleaners” “defenders of heritage””rambos”…

@SteveBellovin I see a huge market for portable WiFi and Bluetooth jammers in the near future

[hex@kolektiva.social]

@cynicalsecurity @aristot73 @SteveBellovin same with Tesla....

[zornem@chaos.social]

@SimonRoyHughes let's not aim low and destroy Meta while at it @SteveBellovin

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@TheOneSwit @SteveBellovin The difference isn’t what’s happening, the difference is the framing.

[elaterite@mastoart.social]

@SteveBellovin Anybody wearing those Meta glasses must be a stalker. If I every notice anyone wearing those damn things I'm going to point at them and yell, "Stalker!"

[simonroyhughes@beige.party]

@zornem @SteveBellovin Arson is vastly underrated.
