This is for self-defense. Not that I live in a country where they (officially) ship, but just in case…
Regarding “how to tell them apart from regular glasses”, this question is mainly about Ray-Ban Blayzer Optics:
Ray-Ban Scriber Optics:
And Ray-Ban Display:
Because these are by far the hardest to identify. Other glasses either have a clearly visible “RayBan” text in the top left corner (which for the pictured ones isn’t clearly visible) or can be identified just by their style.
I share your anger and frustration, but, as much as I hate revisionism, try lobbying instead of getting yourself locked up. I managed to convince my freaking COUNTY to add a phrase about banning smart glasses on hospital grounds “simply” by explaining the situation to them. A lot of the inspiration I got from: https://banray.eu/en/
God fucking damn it. I was so excited for stuff like this to come out so I could finally have a real life HUD, maybe a Crazy Taxi arrow showing the direction I should be heading, and of course it turns into a weaponised dystopia product before I can even begin to afford one.
Edit : my frustration was after reading your link. Good job to you for getting shit done about it! Had to make a quick edit there the tone looked wrong.
Nah, no need for edits and explanations. I get it. I too wished it could’ve been something awesome, perhaps localized, but alas. It’s like
nsfw
but for data brokers: if it exists, there is a way to farm data with it.
Wow, nice. I wish I had the determination and social skills to complain to the right people effectively.
Small steps. I am completely stunted when it comes to dating, but composing emails can be rewarding, because there is litterally nothing for me to lose. It’s not in realtime.
Honestly surprised an email got any response. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten anything other than 10 donation requests in return.
the dot, and just grab the camera side thing and YANK it
Destroying private property in public might work against you despite the obvious invasion of privacy.
No idea if it works, but might i suggest a magnet of some kind?
Won’t work, until we talk about a full blown emp here.
Instead, how about the social angle: pull out a camera, and point it at their face. Then when they get angry, you can claim self defense.
You want us to tell you how to assault someone, break their glasses, and claim self defence?
I’d not want to be your lawyer.
Good luck providing those links in the court. It is just one level more sane than mentioning voices in your head.
The problem is not proving in court how unethical these are. There is plenty of proof and knowledge of that, even among authorities.
The problem is, people don’t care and the manufacturers know exactly how to play these people.
What would actually not hold up in court is the matter of proportionality. There isn’t a single juror or judge that would buy OP’s interpretation that invasion of privacy merits destruction of property.
I’m not saying anything about proving something about the glasses. If you attack someone and break their property, the court will be about this first, and what that property was will be secondary. Don’t attack people, wven if they are assholes. Personal privacy crimes are not felony territory in most countries, assault is
Most legal systems will require you to prove that the other person had ability, opportunity and intent to cause you actual physical harm, and that you used minimal, necessary and proportional force. Someone recording you in public doesn’t get you anywhere near that.
Assuming we’re operating at legal level here, not at ethical level. Which is a factor everyone decides for themselves.
Hate to break it to you, but we’ve had similar covert visual recording devices for quite a while.
They’re called eyes, and they’re connected to a neural network cloud in your head. If you haven’t experienced negative results from these by now, you probably aren’t important enough to be effected by the new Meta version.
As far as I know, my brain content is not analysed, recorded and sold to the highest bidder.

Good work boys, he doesnt suspect a thing.
Baseball bat is pretty effective.
