I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

Couple this w/ the AI nudification sites and this is gonna be insane. Teen boys don’t think big picture…

And they’ll complain loudly when they end up on tea for women or similar sites in the blacklist section.

These are children we’re talking about, they lack the ability for critical thinking.

Don’t forget, high schools have students who are legal adults.

Many adults lack the ability for critical thinking.

And yet if one gets pregnant, parenthood is forced upon them

Unfortunately society often sees them as a lucrative market segment and not as someone to protect from themselves.

In my eyes anyone wearing one of these is a pervert. I simply don't see who else could be the audience for a purposefully discreet camera built into a pair of glasses.
Even Google's attempt at glasses were more overt that these. I'd say Meta is shameful, but that's not exactly a shocker to anyone at this point.

Edit: Seen a few suggestions, but my counterpoint to all of them is - you don't need the camera to discreet fir any of these purposes. You'd only need it to be discreet if you didn't want people to realise you were filming, which just seems aimed towards perverts in my mind.

I remember seeing a video of a blind woman using them, in combination with some earbuds, so she could get her surroundings described to her, as well as have objects she picked up described. But you're right, glasses with discreet cameras on them, aren't necessary for a situation like that - Something more overt would be fine for that use case.

I would love google glass style glasses thag are obvious as a solution for a dashcam like system for when i am driving, or tracking where I left mg keys etc. But as you say, the discreet camera is for perverts.

It’s probably the clearest if a built-in camera is not allowed for glasses and the camera is an external unit they have to clip on. Functional the same, but socially making it clear you’re filming.

I would have loved glasses that could detect advertising with a camera and block it out so I don’t see it, but instead we got AI nudes and stalking.

And probably even more ads sent directly to your eyeballs. If they’re not there yet they’re already on the roadmap.

What matters is who controls the tech, not just the capabilities.

This. Adblock glasses were never going to come from a company that gets a lot of it’s revenue from ads.

Guerilla warfare glasses. Highlights property owned by billionaires.

Aww man you just made me realise that you could combine A.I. image generation with augmented reality to make everyone nude in real time. What a fucked up world we live in. I’m sure someone is already working on a program like this

Not just nude, but any race, any age, any species. Or, make some or all people disappear from view. Not just people but everything around you will look however you want it to (or can afford to pay someone else to make it so.) Clothes will become simple, disposable leotards with markings that make it easy for AR to overlay any style of “clothes”. We’ll broadcast our selection to the surrounding goggles, and they can either show that, or whatever they want. Of course sound is part of it too, so your Puerto Rican “friend” can look like and sound like Princess Diana to you.

But wait, there’s more. Let’s say you’re walking down a busy street and your boss is out that day too. He’ll be able to spot you from blocks away, and even through buildings, tracking your location and following you until he “happens to bump into you.” A feature reserved for certain “elites” and “officials” in society. Whatever information you have available about the people around you will appear floating around them, like a health bar. You think we have no privacy now, wait till everyone knows the basics about you and can pay to know even more, and have it appear above your head and whispered in their ear.

Even Google’s attempt at glasses were more overt that these.

That’s because the tech wasn’t there yet. Otherwise, it would have been the same.

I kind of like the idea. Take some pictures while doing other things like riding your bike or going on a hike without having to take out your phone. Take a quick picture while shopping to them to my wife. Get navigation cues without the phone. But they are so creepy

I’ve seen videos on Instagram of people using them for a first person view without having to strap a GoPro to their head. Like for hobby work.

But if you’re going biking or whatever, you can just as easily strap a camera to your helmet, and get a 360° view to boot. If you’re hiking or shopping, it’s very little effort to take out your phone and snap a pic. And you get the benefit of being able to actually preview the shot.

I really do not want to stick a camera to my helmet. I’m wearing that helmet as safety gear and I do not believe that it is safe to mount robust things with batteries to something which needs to absorb the impact of a fall.

It wouldn’t be any different from hitting one lying on the ground. The mounts are probably breakaway so that you don’t end up with a punctured lithium battery strapped to your head.

So much potential. Face lookup of contacts so I get reminded of people’s names. Lyrics to any detected song so I can sing along. Virtual post-it note reminders in 3D space. Alerts or navigation while walking. Virtual monitors put on any surface.
But humans are too hung up on sex, so it’s not going to happen.

Humans are often the root of the probem with technology.

Face lookup of contacts so I get reminded of people’s names.

Okay, I stop reading here. That’s fucking insane.

what’s wrong with such a fully local application?

I don’t understand how these are fundamentally different from the phone cameras that everyone points at everyone else already. holding a phone up isn’t exactly conspicuous at this point.

schools should probably ban them for the case above, but schools should probably ban phones as well. in the US at least there’s so expectation of privacy anywhere public and smart glasses are a tiny fraction of the doorbell cameras, security cameras, etc that are everywhere

it feels like we’re approaching a circlejerk level of being against smart glasses in general, which do have a ton of interesting use cases that aren’t recording related (but still require a camera for position tracking etc). the “pervert glasses” position is intentionally obtuse

Phones and glasses can nudify girls and women in real time. Pervert glasses is not an exaggeration.

phone cameras can already do that, and the concealment was doable with a raspberry pi zero and its camera

i bet ur typing this on a pervert phone right now. i hear ur pervert computer does the same thing but faster. we should ban computers. this is not an exaggeration.

Glad we are in agreement.

In my eyes anyone wearing one of these is a pervert

fucking blind perverts /s

theguardian.com/…/the-life-changing-magic-of-wear…

As the chief executive of a charity supporting people with a visual impairment, however, I would like to emphasise the point touched upon in your article: how transformative this technology is already proving for blind people.

They could be nice to catch those small moments you get when walking the dog, for example. Sort of like twitch clips but for real life.

Doesn’t really weigh up all the downsides of it, but still.

Stop blaming the kids, it’s the corporation’s fault. Title should be Meta glasses are recording and enabling harassment of underaged school children

The glasses shouldn’t exist but what parents are buying these for their kids?! Blame the parents too.

Yeah. The kids are just the last part of the chain of failure here. Why is Meta producing such a thing? Why the fuck are parents buying several hundred dollars worth of spy glasses for their children and sending them to school with them without any supervision? And what the fuck is the school doing here? The first report of someone harassing other pupils with such a device should be reason to ban them and take hard discipline measures against the harrasser

supplier first then the chain…everyone is blamed

10000000%

And a lot of enabling parents.

These kids absolutely know it’s wrong. Stop enabling bullies. The kids should NOT get a pass for this just because some corporation did something wrong first.

Hoooold up just a minute. How much do these glasses cost? Like hundreds right? What kind of teen boy has that much money to burn? I sure as fuck didn’t, and I worked. Their parents bought them, and these are kids, so it’s 100% blame on the parents here.

When I was 16 and started working, I quickly had enough money saved from working minimum wage, part time, to buy myself a car. It’s not impossible.

Also, these may be kids/young adults, but they should all know right from wrong. Blame is absolutely on the students who use these too.

I had thousands as a teenager from around 15 years old working part time evening and weekends at barely above minimum wage.

When you have no expenses from living at home, you can save everything (and in my case blow it all on electronics lol)

Ok, middle school then

Even if the kids bought them it is still the parent’s responsibility to keep their kid from being an obnoxious pervert.

That’s what really sucks about this.

There’s no institutional backlash. (At least not yet. That could change.)

We’re depending on parents who park these little shits in front of screens and expect to be left alone while their kids are radicalized.

The alternative is having the rich parents be responsible for the children they breed and that will never happen so suck it up poors

No different to mobile phones or iPods or PlayStations. Pair of meta raybans are arguably cheaper than those items now due to inflation.

These devices are fundamentally different to those.

$99 I believe Kmart in Australia charges for the Anko ones.

Not sure what they connect to though

Rich kids. The worst type as they’re also the least likely to get meaningfully punished.

Teen Boys Men of all ages Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize sexually harass Girls women of all ages at High Schools and Middle Schools everywhere.

Is there any actual data to support the claim you’re making, or are you taking a few viral videos and using them as a means to support your own implicit bias?

Scroll to your heart’s content.

noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=meta+glasses+filming+women…

Data.

Stats.

Compilation of actual, verified reports.

But, your response does answer my question, and you should know it’s not 2014 anymore. No matter how fashionable your algorithm has made you think that it is to smear men as a whole, the rest of the world has seen how ridiculous it is.

If you think you get to lump me or your male friends in with these people without being asked to prove it, you should maybe have enough respect for the men in your life that you esteem to actually hunt down some evidence before posting things like this.

Have a great day.

This is the most insane ‘not all men’ take I have ever seen.

Asking for proof? Should be a very easy thing to provide given how confident you are that, apparently, this is an epidemic among men.

Far be it from all of us to pretend we’re guilty just because you presume we are.

I’m sorry, but you’re being very unreasonable. I hope one day the men in your orbit stop quietly accepting that you say things like this.

Nowhere did anyone say ‘all men are doing this’ the OP just changed it from ‘teen boys’ to ‘men of all ages’

Fucking chill.

I feel like everyone is talking about these glasses and I’ve never seen anyone wearing them. Not saying it’s not happening but I think it’s a US thing

Is it just a power of glasses with plastic lenses and a camera or do they actually have any other features, because if it’s just a camera then they’re really isn’t any legitimate market.

They aren’t actually all that common, especially outside the US, but you probably also wouldn’t notice them: goodhousekeeping.com/…/ray-ban-meta-glasses-revie… techradar.com/…/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-collec…

They just look like glasses if you’re not looking closely. You have to specifically look for the camera or the big arms.

Here they’re not even allowing students to carry mobile phones inside of schools. How is this even allowed?

Here they’re not even allowing students to carry

Thought for sure you were setting up an “Americans Love Guns” joke.

so if perverts are not allowed on school property and it is considered private space for that reason…

so who is enforcing that law?

the fuck happened to this society? everyone just seems to be victims all the time. no doers.

People are being disgusting, using technology that was designed to be stealthy on purpose by others for disgusting reasons (to normalize allowing ever greater data collection by tech companies - no surprise the privacy protections are trivially easy to defeat), and are posting videos online for a reason - that they get satisfaction from it.

I guess I don’t care if this makes me sound old or callous, but we need to bully these people. Make the people who post and share these videos embarrassed. Tell them they look like stupid losers who can’t get dates or talk to people. Make them feel bad for not being kind and socially connecting with others. Give them no community or understanding until they stop breaking the social contract.

What social contract? The kids wearing these can’t value something they’ve never known.

the only 3 usecases for these are:

Assholes

Perverts

Blind people - sucks for them, because the first two are going to ruin it before it benefits anyone with disabilities

Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one

Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess

so I’ve given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they’re going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.

also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That’s been banned, but probably only because they’re making their own.

yahoo.com/…/ice-banned-meta-glasses-now-154840012…

Oh look, they’d know and I’ll be honest, I saw someone else post that on here in another thread, liked their point and I’ve given it no thought other than looking like an observer, not recording. And, I’ll add, I’m not in the US so I don’t have local knowledge.

I’d support their use case for it though.

these might not have cell plans, but it wouldn’t be hard to make one with esim support and a panic livestream button so they can’t delete the recording.

perhaps? actually sounds like a project aaaand a privacy nightmare, unfettering these devices from whatever protections for the public meta engages in…

I’m all about surveilling ICE and law enforcement but… I don’t see these devices as an alternative at the end of the day.

recording teachers should be another valid use, you would bot believe the number of times teachers don’t do their legally mandated reporting and brush everything under the rug

Seems like something title 9 should be used to quash, but civil rights for women are only important if transgender people exist in public somewhere

The girls need to fight back with photos of them. Watch how fast they put a stop to it.

Make them famous.

I guarantee most of these schools protect the bullies and punish the victims. Like if a girl being harassed broke the glasses, she would get expelled. The world is the way it is because people enable and worship bullies across the board.

This. My friend in HS went to guidance multiple times to complain about being bullied by another classmate. After the 2nd or 3rd time requesting thy switch his class, they decided to resolve the issue by forcing them to be partners for an assignment in class. He complained again, and was told to deal with it. One day my friend finally cracked and broke the bully’s nose because he had enough and clearly the school was only willing to make this worse, so they called the police on my friend. It’s pretty insane how some things get dealt with sometimes.

Countless stories like this :(

I wish they called the police when I stood up for myself. It was sexual harassment/assault but I didn’t know that at the time, I just knew I didn’t like it so used violence. He stopped and ran off bleeding all over the place.

Totally valid self defence from a legal perspective. But they only used the threat of calling the police and I was absolutely terrified so just shut down.

In a different video, the same boy films another upset girl approaching him with a metal stool in her hands. An adult intervenes before anyone is hurt.

Exactly, they always protect the bullies.

Humans suck at looking at things on a long timeline. “Sticks and stones”. You don’t usually see the effects of years of bullying until adulthood. Or at least not immediately. A TBI, that’ll get you fucking sued. Emotional trauma? What’s that?

Fuck they still try to blame school shootings on videogames and now tiktok.

Schools don’t care about bullying or sexual harassment as long as it doesn’t look bad on them. If it can be swept under the rug, they will ignore it.

At least that is my experience from schools in the UK.

Same in the US

For parents in America, we have an escalation path: school board, media, lawyer. Depending on the situation, the orders may change.

When the school make you feel like you are the one who did something wrong you are not going to tell your parents about it.

this is why advocacy groups are important

can journalism please stop digging deep into the cambridge to pull out words like ‘wheedles?’

i’ve been on this earth for almost 50 years, and i’ve read thousands of texts and never seen that word fucking ever.

you should NOT have to look in the dictionary to read pop culture drivel. these dipshits are just trying to justify their privileged educations, and the ironic thing is that none of them can write for shit despite needing a private school/ivy league pedigree to churn out vacuous thinkpieces for teen vogue and futurism (whatever the hell that is).

I like reading new words

Why are you so mad about learning a new word? It’s even faster to look their meaning today thanks to the internet.

Guess you never ran across that kids book from the 70s. Apparently it also became a Seattle mascot

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheedle

Your comment is 100% poppycock.

Uh, that is a very basic word. It may be that is looks odd in print, but it’s pretty common.

I think young men don’t know how to flirt anymore. I think many of them think they are flirting in some weird way but they have no clue that they are actually bothering/pestering/harassing these woman. I mean I know too many young men that don’t have licences, don’t know how to use a lawn mower, can’t ride a bike, completely useless men…just can’t do anything besides go to school play video games and not much else.

I do blame technology. Keep your kids off online gaming imo. Bust out the old games or only let them play offline games on a console or PC. Especially no cell phone games. Cut YouTube to practically nothing. Get them outside…

I think about the issues with modern dating often, flirting included. One of my perspectives is dating culture is an extension of social culture which is an extension of communal culture, and unfortunately communal culture is dying in America. From something as common as college kids getting educated out of state then starting their career at a 3rd location, to something more systemic like the formation of the rust belt, local communities have been eroding.

Without an established generational history of people talking, connecting, enjoying each other, flirting, and dating no one can really know the difference between expressing interest and harassment as that difference now depends on what your algorithm says and what your echo chambers reinforce.

In short everyone is playing by a different set of social rules, video games may play a part in this via social isolation, but I think the greater socioeconomic system we’re all bound to is much more culpable.

My landlords raise my rent every year, forcing me to move every year.

Why would I bother to foster a sense of community when the community will throw me out at the nearest convenience for profit?

Exactly, the system we live in undermines communities, this is just another example.

This has nothing to do with flirting. They harass girls to feel in control and take out their dating frustration on someone else

I was just trying to guess that they think they are flirting but they are so far gone they have no idea they are harassing just a theory. They still are in the wrong not downplaying it

Not having a license or not knowing how to use a lawn mower is being useless these days

My point being is they don’t know how to do normal everyday things, I can’t write out the thousand normal everyday things in one post…nor would I. Chores are something that are proven to help children aged 10-17, from first-hand experience where I live and interacting with hundreds of kids from different backgrounds, seem to somehow have next to no responsibilities. Obviously going to be different circumstances wherever you live.

this article is stupid for another reason: go on youtube and look up camcorder footage of public high schools in the 90s.

absolutely NOBODY is anxious about getting filmed, and nobody has bad intentions, and nobody would write an article about it.

maybe things ARE worse but maybe the situation is more complex than meta glasses.

Yeah, our society is fucked, that’s what

In the 90s, camcorders were a relative novelty and nobody had any reason to be anxious about being filmed because there was no way to easily share video with millions of strange people maliciously for clout. If you were caught doing something funny, you might appear on TV after signing a release. (e.g. America’s Funniest Home Videos) Sharing video on the internet was a practical technical impossibility, and people had mostly private lives. You’re right it’s not really the glasses, it’s the internet and social media. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first person POV provided by glasses makes content like that more compelling, though, and thus more common.

People covertly filmed for malicious reasons even back then of course, but it was not generally made available to the masses.

If I have a point, it’s that I don’t think this is evidence that we’re more fucked up now than we were then, just that technology has enabled new kinds of abuse that were inconceivable back then.

In the 90s we didn’t have kids recording things for clout and follows. Kids with camcorders were the alt or nerd crowd doing it for themselves or at most local cable access.

Plus a camcorder isn’t really a covert recording device.

these boys need their mother’s to whoop their asses and their dads to whip them into shape.

“oh boys will be boys”

no. boys will be whatever you let them be, and if you let them be perverted pieces of shit they grow up to be perverted pieces of shit.

their mother’s what?

And if you physically abuse them, theyll become physically abusive.

Grow up.

more ways than one for an ass whoopin.

ever bailed hay in 100° heat?

ever cleaned a septic tank out?

ever sorted recyclables at the garbage dump?

I would gladly take an ass beating over any of those.

grow up, there’s punishments worse than getting beat.

this is going to be a bad ADA issue

Yeah no shit letting people go around with concealed recording equipment is resulting in problems. Especially in a fucking school!

So the same bullying that always happens is now visible and that’s the core problem people see. The glasses, not the bullies wearing them or the bullying recorded. Watch teachers and schools fight the recording, that make evidence fall right into their laps, so they can go back to ignoring bullying in their schools and then act shocked when serious fights, or worse happen.

Actually a good point, the bullying and sexual harassment was always there with or without the glasses.

The glasses give them a new option for harassment, but it happens either way.

Can someone explain why this isn’t actually a solution to an old problem? We used to have issues with various forms of harassment that were not addressed because they relied on unreliable testimony. Now we actually have people creating hard evidence of their actions.

The behaviors described in this article are banned in every school I or my children have ever attended. How difficult would it be for the parents of any of these victims to hire a lawyer to absolutely wipe the floor with these people? Don’t these videos basically put the perpetrators heads on silver platters?

Crime usually comes before punishment. Right now the system is working it’s way into figuring out how to deal with this new social dynamic. Like you, I think it’s pretty straightforward. We won’t solve the core reason for the bullying dynamics though. I think humans that adhere to gendered thinking will be behind on that for a good long while yet.

It would be pretty messed up if the punishment came before the crime.

My point, in this case is that the crime has been ongoing. Bullying and harassment aren’t new. What’s new is that we now have a lot of it recorded. This gives us an unprecedented ability to prosecute a class of crimes that people have been committing with impunity.

The biggest downside is that it would likely be short-lived. If there were a bunch of headlines about people getting giant civil judgements, bullies would probably learn to be more careful about generating evidence of their crimes.

That would likely initially focus on attempting to hide the videos from the general public but I suspect they would eventually learn that doesn’t work; courts can compel discovery. They would probably also try to modify their on-screen behavior so it doesn’t technically qualify as a crime but I expect they would mostly fail at that.

That said there would likely always be some cohort of dumb criminals who continue to record their misdeeds. We still see cases where people discuss their crimes over unencrypted email and we still see cases of criminals taking selfies with their crimes

You assume that action will actually be taken on the perpetrators here.

Sort of.

I am making an assumption that there are some people who are likely highly motivated to take action. Parents often care about bullying of their own children, even when the rest of the school doesn’t. We wouldn’t need all parents to care, just a few of them.
I’m not assuming that lawyers are generally willing to work for free but I do assume that they like money and are willing to take cases on contingency, if they think the case is strong enough.
I’m also going on my understanding that video evidence tends to be fairly strong and that this translates into a higher probability of a favorable judgement with less work on the lawyer’s part.

So it’s less that I’m making an assumption than that I’m asking where the gap in the above reasoning chain lies.

I love how the only meaningful outrage over these are the impact to women. Everyone else is basically worthless to our cultural value system.

I mean, why do you think they are targeting women in the first place?

Other people are targetted as well, but we don’t hear about them because the culture doesn’t care. Women affected by something that changed so society needs to protect the helpless women, yet again.

Would you say women and men are targeted in equal proportions or that one group is targeted over the other based on “perceived value”? Like I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying, “yes, and”

I would say all victims deserve a voice but we only seem to care about one.

That’s the nature of patriarchy. Women are to be protected while most men are disposable.

It isn’t patriarchy, it’s women protecting each other. Its matriarchy in a patriarchal trenchcoat.

That’s a non-sequitur. A group of people banding together to protect themselves is not automarically an *archy. Nor does it follow they are secretly in control. I think you are describing your own personal reality then the reality at large. Do women really control your life so much that you feel you are not in control of your own life? Can you cite an example for us to analyze?

Trying to make it personal doesn’t improve your argument.

If you want to argue then address the first three sentences rebutting your argument. If you want to express your feelings you address the personal. I gave you both options and you chose the latter. Consider me your free internet schizo therapist.

After the personal attacks, you aren’t worth explaining anything to.

Thank you for explaining that to me and expressing how you feel.

is that incel I smell?

nah

If caring about victims means being an incel bitch, then so be it. You just make yourself look foolish.

who is the victim in this story?

is it the girls targeted by boys recording them against their will and doing unsavory things with the footage? or is it the boys recording the girls against the will, getting caught, and getting their priorities set straight?

Girls, in this one and in every other one in the last couple month. Only ever girls.

Detail how other people are being targeted

Women, the most historically and universally oppressed group in humanity?

“Hey everyone, this asshole is wearing smart glasses and recording us all. Question is: are they going to remove them right now, or are we?”

If I saw them I would call the police. Especially if there are kids around. No 4th amendment here and no local police departments that can easily be bought off. The police might not find something incriminating every time.

It’s ok, their parents will take care of the situation.

Ah-hahaha, what a joke.

Teen Boys Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools in Very Public and Easily Tracable Ways and Still No One is Stopping Them

Did we not learn from those X-ray goggle ads in the 50s? Boys are pervs and any toy that achieves it will get whatever adolescent/pre-adolescent boys can summon.

Actually, Zuck learned to exploit this craving. Sick fuck.

From the opening part of the article, the problem is not just the glasses. The glasses are definitely an issue that needs to be sorted out society wide, but there is a problem with how these boys are raised. Badly raised boys have always been an issue but now they are being raised by manosphere incel influencers. The glasses just let them record their harassment to post for clout and to draw others into their bullying.

Why is the minimum age not 18?

Creeps exist above 18 years old too…

Yes but starting with an age limitation is a start on these damn things.

in what world is age restricting a relatively normal camera a reasonable decision?

When it breaks laws. My area has two-party consent laws, so recording someone, whether audio or video, without their explicit consent is against the law. Children are often not held to the fullest extent of the law, and if they cannot be held responsible, then they shouldn’t have access to such devices until they can be.

I’m not naive to think that these devices will just go away or that the genie can go back into the bottle. But that is where regulation must act to protect people’s privacy rights.

what ia the difference between this and a phone taped inside of a shirt?

perhaps it’s time to jump back to reddit.

they’ll tolerate your feigned stupidity over there.

How the fuck is this a “relatively normal” camera, or ANY kind of “normal”? People like you are the reason these companies get away with shit like this.

because there isn’t anything particularly special about it other thsn it being a mass market product

creep detected

Sit them in a dunce corner full of mirrors until the battery runs out.

I blame the parents

Yeah who the hell is buying creeper glasses for kids to wear at schools. This is messed up.

By there not being enough consequences for these boys, not only are you making more boys like this, but not doing those boys any favours either. No one mentally healthy is going to want to be with that kind of boy.

Weak parents. Weak schools. Weak government. Failing everyone.

Good for the girls, they’ll know which boys to stay away from!

What teen boys can even fucking afford those? They’re like £500 for a stupid pair of glasses

I’m a teacher. I don’t know how they pull this of - but even kids from poorer families tend to carry some very expensive gadgets around all day. Stuff I wouldn’t afford with my 4k salary because it would be completely unreasonable.

They do.

Release the epstein files and kill boomers

Maybe we can get our hands on some of those Volvo lidar modules to combat all these cameras around us? “Your assumed right to record me doesn’t overrule my right to make high resolution 3D scans of everywhere I go.”

Are the glasses lens telephoto?

Those are the only ones the article says get damaged by the lidar

just grab a pair of cheap Clark Kents. girls will avoid you.

use a james bond pen if you only want pictures.
