Yup. They're all over the perv-glasses threads telling people they have no right to privacy and it's no different that a cell phone camera. meanwhile, they're posting upskirts and downshirts, stalking videos, harassment, outright racist hate shit, all recorded with their cute lil fuckin perv-glasses.

And meta keeps putting facial recognition shit in the APIs but denying it.

the sad part is, they could be great tools for the disabled, but a bunch of shitkids have already ruined that use because meta wants profits more than helping people or -haha- letting people have privacy.
