dude, I've been using phones since they had dials. one place I lived, we had a party line shared with 3 neighbors.

it's not the same thing at all. Stop acting like phones and EYEWEAR are the same. People have no reasonable expectation if you're holding a phone to their face that they aren't being recorded. Looking at your silly stupid mug while serving your food or walking by isn't consenting to be recorded.

One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that a huge percentage of the population has virtually no ability to think ahead even a few years in terms of tech,

this is rich, considering how out of touch you are on this subject.

Ok so you fundamentally don’t understand that in public places you have no expectation of privacy and can be recorded or photographed without consent in most of the world. You might not like that or agree with it, but that’s how it is.

Seems you’re the one who is out of touch.

From your own link:

Germany's network regulator says smart glasses are legal "as long as the recording function is clearly visible." Reuters reports:

People can file lawsuits all they want, doesn’t mean they have merit or will win.

Every country has had laws around recording/photographing in public for decades. This isn’t new. Most of them, overwhelmingly so, give you no expectation of privacy when in public areas, because otherwise you’d essentially be banning cameras and video recording in the country.

I say you’re the one who is out of touch because you don’t appear to know that these laws exist already.
