So I need to preemptively wear anti facial recognition makeup if ever called for jury duty. Gotcha.

It seems somewhat realistic to expect an actual punishment for this, even if not properly scaled. It's worth fighting for. But being prepared alongside that is important.

Never pass up an opportunity for getting in the news. Free advertising

Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.

Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they've just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.

Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.

Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that's actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.

They probably just don't even realize they're wearing them, it's just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
