@JuliaRez@chaos.social @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt idk i dont want terfs racist women or karens to be harrased by men either tbh. and if the pervert glasses stop men from harrasing them it’s a win in my book. some of them might even start a redemption arc if they’re harrased and thus stressed out less
Abs. However, you may bet yr bottom dollar that a given terf of average density is going to use those spectacles to document && harass anyone they suspect of Being A Trans.
So that tech fails at intersectionality right away.

@Natasha_Jay I hate the idea we would have to give Musk any money in order to get his rotten, dangerous, stalking product banned. I wonder if there’s a really good imitation set around, so folk think they are being filmed, when it’s actually a dummy pair. I’d buy those; or has someone managed to make a knockoff version yet?
@HarriettMB @Natasha_Jay Meta is the Zuck but at this point it doesn't matter, he's made donations to fascists and his platform spreads hate as well.

@HarriettMB @Natasha_Jay It would be a fairly easy job to mount an LED & battery in a pair of sunglasses & make people think they're being recorded
Musk gets nothing, no laws get broken, technocreeps get heart attacks

Think about it. If millions of women wore smart glasses, recording men's behaviour, conversations, comments, their driving & bar chats ... can you imagine the panic? Smart glasses would be regulated before you can say the word 'Meta'.
If a woman had developed and distributed the idea, with her name and face attached, like Zuckles has with his Raggedy Andy ass floppy doll head, the glasses would be deemed national-security and industrial-privacy risks across the world. Banned before shipping.
And it's absolutely not hyperbolic to assume a woman would have contract bounties put-out on them by cocks like Putin and Orban. -

@Natasha_Jay
Who would all the women buy those smart glasses from, though? -
@Natasha_Jay Is that a suggestion? (Not a woman, but thinking about it)
@gimulnautti I love how this clarification in parenthesis doesn't actually clarify, what are you thinking about
-
@Natasha_Jay woman + smart glasses = genius. Unfair.

Dismantling the house of the master using the tools of the master? Not possible.
You would be helping something you despise. -

Sousveillance is a thing. Seize the means of voyeurism and all that.
I would not mind a name and shame web site, something like "Boors of the week", that would make bouncers and barmen job so much easier.
Bonus point if every woman in the party actually put these glasses on at the same time and politely ask the idiot to repeat whatever he was saying just before.

@JuliaRez@chaos.social @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt terfs are gonna do terf shit regardless of any tech involved.

Reminded me of this clip during the google glass hype
-
@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt You just reminded me of the app which women report specific men that are dangerous. The amount of men I read online that's fully against it is interesting to say the least
@matty @Natasha_Jay "Just don't be a bad guy" is anathema to them somehow. It's really disheartening.

@Natasha_Jay so, funny thing about that, there’s already a brand deal with Kylie Jenner for fem-chic Meta glasses

Why pretend, when you can use an actual pair of (non-smart) camera glasses w/ 2K video, and with clear replacement lenses included so that you can actually see at night...

That remembers me a phrase:
"if safe abortion were for men, would had been Law long time ago"

@Natasha_Jay
Maybe we should start doing just that. -
@Natasha_Jay A conference I am speaking at later this year just announced they are banning these smart glasses. I'm glad they made that explicit, but they really shouldn't have to. IMHO, anyone who is infosec or aspires to be in this profession who is walking around a conference w/ these on needs just keep walking into a new profession.
@briankrebs @Natasha_Jay And traffic.

@lumiworx @HarriettMB @Natasha_Jay the idea is for a large number of women to wear these
Using pretend glasses is
1. Cheaper
2. Gets round any legal issues
3. Puts the fear of god into the pervs wearing the creep glasses--EDIT--
Grammar

@Natasha_Jay i love the idea, but honestly: of the millions of smartglasses already sold, are we saying that not a single one has yet been sold to a woman?
"if women wore smart glasses…" they already do.
