Businesses need to start banning smart glasses with cameras or at least require the cameras to be covered with tape.

I remember when you couldn't have camera phones a lot of business. Seems like these would be prohibited simply from a security standpoint. Harassment would just be another reason on top of that.

Yeah, literal camera pointed at computer screens, with a view of fingers on the keyboard, and who knows what apps installed with access. Anyone who does that should be fired as they are a danger to the organization.

People need to start being more violent to gargoyles. You wear rayban, you risk getting popped without warning.

I'm so in for this. I am so tired and disgusted about how we let these influencers and content retards allow normal people to be turned into shitposts on the internet. If we started beating the hell out of these little shits a decade ago we woudnt have this problem. Luckely Ive never had anyone ever pull a camera on me in public. But I'm pretty sure I'd go to jail for whatever happens next.

Maybe you should just go to jail pre-emptively, if you can't control your violent urges.

Love the Snow Crash reference. I use it a lot.

Many places already do this with cellphones. It shouldn't be different for such glasses. Using recording equipment is rarely appropriate in a workplace.

requiring it already even with phones? can I ask what kind of places is it?
