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.

Conferences need to put a ban on Meta glasses into their codes of conduct.
in reply to funnymonkey

Conference attendees should be required to either leave their electronic devices at home or unsubscribe to Meta before attending.

Oh it gets "better" / sarcasm

We're sharing everything with the government without any oversight.

@i47i I understand your concerns, but for us blind people it would be a huge help. Many of us use those glasses every day and solve problems that were absolutely unsolvable before.

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 the ideal world it would be a kickstarter company, then prototyping, testing by blind people, open-source software with independent audits. But in practice… blindness market is always a super-mega-niche thing. I won't write a War and Peace about it (if you wish, I can though) just not to make you tired, but read about Braille displays and their cost, for example, or for that matter about any special devices and their cost. I used to support such a small startup, in the end they just silently stopped selling their glasses and updating the software.

"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"

@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.

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.

Yes. The way we decide to spend our money, the products we choose to use is our way to go against the #Broligarchs that want to break our democracies.
The more people realise that tbe better.
