Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.

The fucking DANGER these glasses represent is so disgusting. So many women are going to end up recorded without their permission, stalked, and harassed. That thing about being able to find the name of the person you're looking at? Yeah just because they say they're not going to let that happen means they've already put the tech in place. Why stop at showing just the name? Social media will be just a click away. No doubt in my mind some nasty chud will hack the glasses with AI to unclothe everyone he's looking at.

Just women? How about men's change rooms? How about kid's playgrounds? You want creeps pointing their glasses at your kids?
