Smart glasses equipped with cameras, microphones, and AI are a creeping privacy and security nightmare, prompting backlash.

And rightfully so.

You know what there should be a pull-down menu option on all phones called, "Radius" and it puts up a censored image over you like a box or a blur that can not be removed by any smart glasses wearer but can be removed by LEO's if needed. It could use the compasses proximity sensor and identify smart glasses in the area. Could be a nice addition to Android or Graphene.

That’s impossible. The information is already gathered, you could just be sending a beacon out saying “please don’t process this”.

What’s to stop them from ignoring that?

Literally a black mirror episode

Better yet the glasses should just blur any human or replace them with an avatar.
