Can someone explain why this isn't actually a solution to an old problem? We used to have issues with various forms of harassment that were not addressed because they relied on unreliable testimony. Now we actually have people creating hard evidence of their actions.

The behaviors described in this article are banned in every school I or my children have ever attended. How difficult would it be for the parents of any of these victims to hire a lawyer to absolutely wipe the floor with these people? Don't these videos basically put the perpetrators heads on silver platters?

Yeah no shit letting people go around with concealed recording equipment is resulting in problems. Especially in a fucking school!

these boys need their mother's to whoop their asses and their dads to whip them into shape.

"oh boys will be boys"

no. boys will be whatever you let them be, and if you let them be perverted pieces of shit they grow up to be perverted pieces of shit.

this is going to be a bad ADA issue

I love how the only meaningful outrage over these are the impact to women. Everyone else is basically worthless to our cultural value system.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 31 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

I guarantee most of these schools protect the bullies and punish the victims. Like if a girl being harassed broke the glasses, she would get expelled. The world is the way it is because people enable and worship bullies across the board.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Schools don't care about bullying or sexual harassment as long as it doesn't look bad on them. If it can be swept under the rug, they will ignore it.

At least that is my experience from schools in the UK.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

Same in the US

This. My friend in HS went to guidance multiple times to complain about being bullied by another classmate. After the 2nd or 3rd time requesting thy switch his class, they decided to resolve the issue by forcing them to be partners for an assignment in class. He complained again, and was told to deal with it. One day my friend finally cracked and broke the bully's nose because he had enough and clearly the school was only willing to make this worse, so they called the police on my friend. It's pretty insane how some things get dealt with sometimes.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

I wish they called the police when I stood up for myself. It was sexual harassment/assault but I didn't know that at the time, I just knew I didn't like it so used violence. He stopped and ran off bleeding all over the place.

Totally valid self defence from a legal perspective. But they only used the threat of calling the police and I was absolutely terrified so just shut down.

Countless stories like this :(

[–] arararagi@ani.social 11 points 4 hours ago

In a different video, the same boy films another upset girl approaching him with a metal stool in her hands. An adult intervenes before anyone is hurt.

Exactly, they always protect the bullies.

People are being disgusting, using technology that was designed to be stealthy on purpose by others for disgusting reasons (to normalize allowing ever greater data collection by tech companies - no surprise the privacy protections are trivially easy to defeat), and are posting videos online for a reason - that they get satisfaction from it.

I guess I don’t care if this makes me sound old or callous, but we need to bully these people. Make the people who post and share these videos embarrassed. Tell them they look like stupid losers who can’t get dates or talk to people. Make them feel bad for not being kind and socially connecting with others. Give them no community or understanding until they stop breaking the social contract.

the only 3 usecases for these are:

Assholes

Perverts

Blind people - sucks for them, because the first two are going to ruin it before it benefits anyone with disabilities

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 54 minutes ago

Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one

Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

What social contract? The kids wearing these can't value something they've never known.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 62 points 11 hours ago (8 children)

Hoooold up just a minute. How much do these glasses cost? Like hundreds right? What kind of teen boy has that much money to burn? I sure as fuck didn't, and I worked. Their parents bought them, and these are kids, so it's 100% blame on the parents here.

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 minutes ago

Rich kids. The worst type as they're also the least likely to get meaningfully punished.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 53 minutes ago

$99 I believe Kmart in Australia charges for the Anko ones.

Not sure what they connect to though

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 35 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Even if the kids bought them it is still the parent’s responsibility to keep their kid from being an obnoxious pervert.

No different to mobile phones or iPods or PlayStations. Pair of meta raybans are arguably cheaper than those items now due to inflation.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 hours ago

These devices are fundamentally different to those.

Here they're not even allowing students to carry mobile phones inside of schools. How is this even allowed?
