I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion, but what she did is really shitty and she should be charged with it. She could have at least asked him to stop before destroying property.

It's really no different than if she smashed someone's phone because they were recording video in public.

Unpopular unpopular opinion: recording public places for yourself shouldn't even be considered a bad tone. Distribution of those recordings should, unless they contain some illegal activity.

Counter point: if you start filming me in public without my permission your phone is getting smashed, and I don’t care how shitty anybody thinks it is.

I'm glad the law disagrees with you. Someone doing something you consider disrespectful doesn't justify assault and property damage.

It sounds like you have some anger control issues going on if that's your go-to response.

... Are you a cop or something?

When you wake up and walk outside to the corner store, you've had like 40 devices filming you.... lol

Yeah but there’s a difference between a security cam and someone filming me to mock me on the internet. And for the record I’m not stoked about everything else filming me either.

Those devices don't get in your face, aren't easily manuevered to film like a creep. Also the same device don't follow you around like a stalker.

Are those differences really that hard to see?

I have several perspectives on this:

1: that's wrong and you shouldn't break other peoples stuff. just ask nicely. 2: that's right and he shouldn't have been videoing you. also weren't meta glasses originally for exercising and stuff I saw an add where people were running and asking meta how they could improve and taking calls and stuff

I wonder if the people defending the dude know where the recordings go.

Would they still defend him if the recordings are sent to (or otherwise available to) Meta?

I like her defiant smirk, she knows what she did.

someone should have done this to robert scoble like ten years ago because it might have stopped the whole craze.
