@Wen yes. I keep seeing adverts on TV for these. Every time I have to cringe. Incidentally, they seem to heavily feature women. They're trying desperately to suggest that it's only the nice ladies who will use them, and not the male creepy pervs who will actually do so.

There is a petition to the UK parliament asking for them to be banned.

@Wen excellent. Am going to assume that Made by Donkeys have something to do with it.

@scattershot I thought so, but apparently it is by a group calling itself ‘We hate Elon’

@Wen I'm so torn on this. I feel like they need to be licensable for the blind and partially sighted. But your average pervert has no business walking around with them

@tmcfarlane I quite agree - they can have a purpose. I am not visually disabled but I can imagine the difference audio interpreted vision would be a massive advantage for some (and I am sure some people who are might be able to comment). But as you say that does not require their use as a free for all image capture system to be used covertly and linked to the undressing shite that Meta and X are playing (amongst other things) with should be lawful.

@Wen @tmcfarlane I’m completely against them as there is another issue here that gets lost in the discussion about pervo-glasses and consent: for them to work *as intended* for people who are visually impaired and can be said to have a legitimate need, the images need to be uploaded to and interpreted by Meta’s AI. Som of us have made a deliberate choice to avoid all Meta products, and do not wish to have our images (or the sounds of our voices, for that matter) on any Meta servers for any reason. People using these glasses have no way of knowing who around them has taken such a stand, unless they seek active consent from everyone around them before using the glasses.
Now, smart glasses from ethical companies may have an important role to play in increasing accessibility. But as far as I know, those don’t exist yet.
