@vowe I wondered if Ray Ban were historically a choice for perverts and fuck me they make a range called predator

[thefeditest@mastodon.social]

@vowe also they are water proof and fireproof, you can just test the lighter on cameras to see how impressive it is

@vowe also from israeli product checker:
"Yes, botcott!
Ray-Ban is a brand of EssilorLuxottica
EssilorLuxottica has invested in Israel by acquiring Nuance Hearing, a Tel Aviv-based startup. This is not its first in Israel. In 2010, the company acquired a 50% stake in Shamir Optical, an optical lens manufacturer in Kibbutz Shamir, Upper Galilee, for $130 million, and later purchased the remaining 50% in 2022."

How about dabbing a bit of silver nitrate solution on the camera lens and exposing the glasses to sunlight? Puts a lovely layer of solid black over the lens!

Private #MassSurveillance and the virtual end of #Privacy in public spaces

Why this matters:

"#Meta and #RayBan’s new #AIglasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the #EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to #Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.” The chasm between legality and ethics continues to widen as the use of smart glasses poses additional risks at sites of expected privacy, including hospitals, restrooms,...

...fitness spaces, locker rooms, and private businesses. In 2024, #Harvard researchers were able to run facial recognition software on recorded footage from #Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to successfully locate the names, addresses, and other personal information of passersby from public databases.

@harrysentonbury @vowe Almost everything eyeglasses-related is a brand of EssilorLuxottica. Good luck with that boycott.

@Tattie @vowe nah it’s all good mate, a dose of microwaves helps sharpen up the images

[khleedril@cyberplace.social]

@jumpingjackrussell @vowe No it wouldn't. Don't copy this post to Instagram. Under no circumstances. Don't even think about doing it. Everybody will hate you.

@HistoPol @vowe

There's a campaign against these glasses, who have a great sticker, but also a good discussion on proper use cases for people with visual impairments. See:

I put my Meta Raybans in for a minute and half because it's only 1100 watts rather than 1500.

@lennybacon Bis wir diese Technik zur Verfügung haben, nehme ich diese App , die mir sagt, (habs noch nicht getestet) ob so ein Ding in meiner Nähe ist. @vowe
