Mark Zuckerberg and his minions at Meta see our slide into fascism -- which Zuckerberg actively funds, and Facebook actively profits from -- as a good product launch opportunity for facial recognition stalkerware goggles.

How could the truly lifechanging and needed accessibility features be implemented without the Meta data extraction and stalkerware?
Let's support accessibility, and absolutely reject the people like Zuckerberg who cynically pervert real accessibility needs to further a surveillance empire.

in reply to funnymonkey • • •"We saw what happened a decade ago when Google tried it, and people have only gotten more hostile to surveillance tech, so clearly it's the time to launch it NOW, right guys?"
Honestly, I've got to imagine that Zuckerberg will provide an entire course in future law as to "How you don't let a single person have total control of a multi-billion dollar business"

in reply to Michael Lubert • • •@adanufgail I think Meta glasses are gaining popularity. They've thrown billions at making it a cool thing to own and they'll keep doing so until it catches on or they go bankrupt.
But I hope you're right. Hard to say.

They are making a calculated bet that there are enough creeps, stalkers, abusers, pedos, harassers, and other sociopathic bottom feeders that they can sell enough of these to make it worthwhile.
And given the data they have from Facebook, insta, Threads, and their ad tech, they would know.

in reply to funnymonkey • • •My guess is that isn't enough. Meta is working hard to make it an influencer tool and they're using celebrities to normalize it.
End game, if they make it that far, and battery tech allows, is always-on recording and facial recognition.
