I remember when Google glasses came out, people got assaulted for wearing them

Her Facebook post 💀
“OMG so you’ll never believe this but… I got verbally and physically assaulted and robbed last night in the city, had things thrown at me because of some ---- Google Glass haters,” Slocum posted to Facebook.
The trick is now you can’t tell. Should it be illegal? Heck yes. Will it? “Hmm … technology, so important … innovation.. privacy is dead anyway …. terrorism prevention.. “
Why should it be illegal?
It’s perfectly legal to photograph strangers in public. You’re in public you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
I don’t see people assaulting CCTV cameras for instance.
Sure some weirdos might I use it for nefarious reasons but if it didn’t exist they would still be weirdos using something else.
If someone has a convo with me while wearing these fake ray-bans, we're gonna have heated words. Simple as.
It's one thing to be surveiled at a place for security purposes, but someone wanting to record me has decided they don't care about consent and that's more disrespectful. I will not be held at the whims of someone who feels obligated to share everything, because they're already broken inside to not care about anything but themselves.
I’m all for it. If I can walk through the grocery store and AI can track all the prices on everything and help me budget, i would think that’s pretty cool. Or, if I need to check back what a professor said in class and work on the board, boom no problem. I can see people not wanting to get filmed, but aren’t we already being filmed constantly already? Now I get to film for my benefit.
