      The problem with that is, how do we make glasses like these illegal without also making any type of filming in public illegal?

      A good start would be for more states to adopt wiretapping laws with two-party consent models. Only 11 states have these on the books currently.

        Buy a pair and follow rich and powerful people around with them. That’s how they become illegal.

            How close do you need to get for facial recognition with a device that is designed to vacuum up every face it comes across? After a couple of scandals about who was out where with whom, that’s all it would take.

              I kinda think kureta@lemmy.ml is right tho, it’d be hard. People like Zuck, they take private jets from here to there. They don’t fly commercial. They don’t go eat to normal restaurants with the plebs, he has high end privately catered. He don’t do his own shopping. Zuck bought 11 houses around his own mansion, for … privacy!

              That goes into an observation. Zuck zealously guards his own privacy. He doesn’t want YOU to have privacy! But HE wants as much privacy as he can get.

                Good points. But the plebs happen to serve these folks. Not to mention congressmen/women tend to be a lot easier to follow than billionaires. Also the paparazzi are a crafty folk being handed another tool to be sneaky. We’ll see.

                  True… paparazzi can get to people sometimes.

                  Totally with you on the idea, btw. I think the people destroying the privacy of everyone in society should feel that themselves, too. They shouldn’t get to hide behind infinite piles of money to guard their own privacy while they destroy ours.

                  It would be one thing if we could easily opt out. But we can’t. It’s not MY choice that puts me into this. It’s the choice of some other rando walking down the same sidewalk as me.

              • Make a series of drones that look like parts of the houses surrounding Zuck’s main home, maybe chimneys, plumbing vents, etc.

                Even using a private jet, a flight plan has to be registered. Musk removed an account from Twitter for posting his “private” flight information. Same thing can be done to Zuck.

        I think hidden cameras are already illegal in some places, no?

        Like you can’t film in a bathroom, so wouldn’t they be required to take these glasses off before walking in?

        Just expand that so no secret cameras can be used, or.cameras disguised as every day objects like pens and glasses.

        I think the best start would be to make it illegal to collect and retain data that would make devices like this useful.
