    Clickbait warning. This has nothing to do with the Meta smart glasses. They’re just a means of taking pictures of people without them noticing. But you could do the same with any internet connected camera / phone etc.

      Op has over 3800 posts in under a year. Yikes. Either bot or one smelly keyboard warrior

        Eh, they probably just have a feed and post a bunch all at once. I’ve seen other posters do something similar. Creating 10-15 lemmy posts/day isn’t particularly hard if you’re literally just copy/pasting links from an RSS feed.

      How does that automatically dox people? I have a load of photos of people who I got in the background. I don’t magically know their names.

          Not that I have a Facebook profile, but even if I did, that would only give them access to information that I made public.

          Doxing requires you to release information that you otherwise would keep private.

          It won’t let them know my bank account details or my home address or my medical history or anything like that.

      it is annoying when they do that; i would, however, venture that these glasses probably give people a way of doing things more surreptitiously, even though this article doesn’t explore that

        Yeah, they mention that it’s unsuspicious glasses by the look. We’ll have to see what this comes to… When google introduced their Google glasses, people got yelled at on the streets, at least as far as I remember.

          I don’t think anyone actually got yelled at for wearing them. they were pretty rare to see. I know people who wore them all the time
