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.

@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”…

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

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

@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!"

@zornem @SteveBellovin Arson is vastly underrated.
