    It’s a huge stretch. Most of the people buying these glasses are just interested in technology, see this cool new thing, and are ignorant to privacy because they already use social media and whatnot. Creeps use phones to take underskirt pictures of girls too, so are you going to go around calling every phone owner a creep? People like you who see ignorant “normies” as malicious enemies are what’s wrong with the privacy community. Like I said earlier, we should educate, not name call.

      ‘people like you’ don’t give consumers enough credit. They aren’t ignorant to the privacy concerns. That’s nonsense. They just don’t care about them. People buying these glasses take it a step further though by disrespecting the privacy of others. For that, I will ostracize them and their apologists.
      Also what so “cool” exactly to you about strapping an ip camera to your face?
