No they’re probably right: it’s probably not on all the time, simply because the battery usage would be too high. What I mean was that it’s a rogue camera you can’t escape if the operator of the camera, or more likely Facebook, decides to turn it on for some purpose or other. I didn’t express myself properly.
And it’s gonna get a lot worse when you’re in a room with dozens of people sporting those hateful surveillance things.
I’m not assuming it would be a constant video recording because yeah I agree about the battery concerns. Rather I’m concerned it would be intervalic photos and audio recordings, maybe based on certain contexts?
ie: mic picks up a new voice in the room, camera takes snapshot to identify the person and upload data to the cloud.
That’s exactly my point: you can never tell when you’re going to be put under surveillance. And people generally aren’t comfortable around someone wearing one of those invasive recording devices - even if they’re only potentially invasive.
That’s why Google gave up on their own smartglasses project.
You trust Meta to not record without the LED being on?
That’s dangerous naïveté.
Never trust capitalists to do the right thing.

Yep, just like Windows Recall. They don’t need to overturn privacy laws to break e2ee if they just take a screenshot of your Signal chat instead.
