Smart glasses are going mainstream and our privacy laws haven't caught up. The privacy act barely covers individuals wearing them, surveillance rules are a messy state by state patchwork, and Meta is reportedly building "super sensor" glasses that can record even when you're not actively using them. We're sleepwalking into this one. #privacy #surveillance #ai #smartglasses #auspol https://theconversation.com/smart-glasses-are-going-mainstream-do-current-privacy-laws-protect-us-from-the-risks-289138

@mojo@aus.social I 100% agree with you, tho i have no problem with these AI-glasses being available to the visually-impaired, from a GP or medical consultant, in the same way hearing aids are available. I have written a mass of emails about Perv-glasses and the multiple Privacy Issues to my local MP, the PM and various ministers and senators (copy-pasted in the first instance). As a teacher Im especially concerned about these glasses getting into schools, baby/childcare environments, clubs, sports centres and gyms. I've had some great replies and yes they are concerned. Id suggested that anyone who is able to, should write asap. This should help 👇 https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Contacting_Senators_and_Members The more voices who express concern the better. And yes, our govt representatives DO respond to what lands in their inboxes.
