But even if I don't, others will infringe on my privacy if they wear those glasses in my vicinity
Same if they record you on their phone.
I would argue that that's more obvious, the phone/gopro/cemera is up there and you know you are potentially being recorded. Also that's in the user's control (i.e. they'll need to intentionally record).
Here, given Meta's greed, we could have a potential subtle and not so obvious recording/surveillance. How would you tell if someone passing by is recording, wearing glasses is pretty common.
So the tldr is that I argue it's not the same because it's not obvious and/or frequent as it is with a camera/phone
My argument is that there are not only things that people intentionally publish, but also audio and video recordings that may be being collected on people without their knowledge and could also capture other people near them.
