Just met my first #glasshole in person

Asked him why he was wearing them

He said he'd "the feeling he needs them" because you can hear music with them ¯\(°_o)/¯

And saw no problem with #privacy at all - from what he'd said he didn't know the concept...

Got a bit pissed that I asked him, bc he saw it as "his decision" & "freedom" to wear a piece of surveillance tech in his face

How do you guys act in situations like this? Or am I too 2010ish ;)?

Your right to wear these glasses ends when you point them at me. Then call the police if he doesn't stop.

Turns out that the right to privacy is a human right, whereas the right to record you is not.

@jens Depending on the surroundings, recording/photographing in public places may be totally legal. Just like someone could whip out their phone and start taking video.

@solitha @jens Depends on the country, too. In the UK, filming in public is not itself illegal. But many people who use these things (eg. Police with bodycams) are the first to object to you doing so.

@UkeleleEric @solitha I'm not sure how the laws changed, but two decades ago, Germany was pretty clear about this. You can film in public, you can film crowds e.g. at large events, but individuals/small groups require explicit consent. Unless the filming is in the public interest somehow.

@jens I suppose it all really rests on the local laws and situation. My own post is primarily for the US.

I have heard that there are anti-facial-recognition coatings one can apply to one's own glasses. I'd been considering that for all that's going on here.
