It's not just that people are "perverts", it's that they're wearing a camera on their face constantly filming people who have a reasonable expectation to privacy. Even in public most countries would protect that expectation in a lot of cases.

So unless somebody wants to be violently assaulted and their glasses ripped and smashed off their face, then it might be best to not buy them at all, or only wear them in private.

who have a reasonable expectation to privacy.

Not in public, you don't. You're not in private, you're in public. You do not get to walk around outside in public areas and demand privacy. That makes no sense.

iirc you can't expect not to be caught in random photos or videos but you do have a right for someone not to film you specifically, someone wearing these glasses is doing that in every interaction.

Constantly filming in public IS pervert.

Even with absolute no pervert intention to use them, I would not want them around me. A Facebook thing constantly recording everything? We need to draw a line before it's too late.

Finally, please. And I'd appreciate if we drew it in blood.
