In my eyes anyone wearing one of these is a pervert. I simply don't see who else could be the audience for a purposefully discreet camera built into a pair of glasses. Even Google's attempt at glasses were more overt that these. I'd say Meta is shameful, but that's not exactly a shocker to anyone at this point. Edit: Seen a few suggestions, but my counterpoint to all of them is - you don't need the camera to discreet fir any of these purposes. You'd only need it to be discreet if you didn't want people to realise you were filming, which just seems aimed towards perverts in my mind.

Hoooold up just a minute. How much do these glasses cost? Like hundreds right? What kind of teen boy has that much money to burn? I sure as fuck didn't, and I worked. Their parents bought them, and these are kids, so it's 100% blame on the parents here.

I guarantee most of these schools protect the bullies and punish the victims. Like if a girl being harassed broke the glasses, she would get expelled. The world is the way it is because people enable and worship bullies across the board.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Couple this w/ the AI nudification sites and this is gonna be insane. Teen boys don't think big picture...

Stop blaming the kids, it’s the corporation’s fault. Title should be Meta glasses are recording and enabling harassment of underaged school children

And probably *even more* ads sent directly to your eyeballs. If they're not there yet they're already on the roadmap.

From the opening part of the article, the problem is not just the glasses. The glasses are definitely an issue that needs to be sorted out society wide, but there is a problem with how these boys are raised. Badly raised boys have always been an issue but now they are being raised by manosphere incel influencers. The glasses just let them record their harassment to post for clout and to draw others into their bullying.

Yeah who the hell is buying creeper glasses for kids to wear at schools. This is messed up.

By there not being enough consequences for these boys, not only are you making more boys like this, but not doing those boys any favours either. No one mentally healthy is going to want to be with that kind of boy. Weak parents. Weak schools. Weak government. Failing everyone.

People are being disgusting, using technology that was designed to be stealthy on purpose by others for disgusting reasons (to normalize allowing ever greater data collection by tech companies - no surprise the privacy protections are trivially easy to defeat), and are posting videos online for a reason - that they get satisfaction from it. I guess I don’t care if this makes me sound old or callous, but we need to bully these people. Make the people who post and share these videos embarrassed. Tell them they look like stupid losers who can’t get dates or talk to people. Make them feel bad for not being kind and socially connecting with others. Give them no community or understanding until they stop breaking the social contract.

Can someone explain why this isn't actually a solution to an old problem? We used to have issues with various forms of harassment that were not addressed because they relied on unreliable testimony. Now we actually have people creating hard evidence of their actions. The behaviors described in this article are banned in every school I or my children have ever attended. How difficult would it be for the parents of any of these victims to hire a lawyer to absolutely wipe the floor with these people? Don't these videos basically put the perpetrators heads on silver platters?

Here they're not even allowing students to carry mobile phones inside of schools. How is this even allowed?

It's ok, their parents will take care of the situation.

Why is the minimum age not 18?

Yeah no shit letting people go around with concealed recording equipment is resulting in problems. Especially in a fucking school!

these boys need their mother's to whoop their asses and their dads to whip them into shape. "oh boys will be boys" no. boys will be whatever you let them be, and if you let them be perverted pieces of shit they grow up to be perverted pieces of shit.

Sit them in a dunce corner full of mirrors until the battery runs out.

Not just nude, but any race, any age, any species. Or, make some or all people disappear from view. Not just people but everything around you will look however you want it to (or can afford to pay someone else to make it so.) Clothes will become simple, disposable leotards with markings that make it easy for AR to overlay any style of "clothes". We'll broadcast our selection to the surrounding goggles, and they can either show that, or whatever they want. Of course sound is part of it too, so your Puerto Rican "friend" can look like and sound like Princess Diana to you. But wait, there's more. Let's say you're walking down a busy street and your boss is out that day too. He'll be able to spot you from blocks away, and even through buildings, tracking your location and following you until he "happens to bump into you." A feature reserved for certain "elites" and "officials" in society. Whatever information you have available about the people around you will appear floating around them, like a health bar. You think we have no privacy now, wait till everyone knows the basics about you and can pay to know even more, and have it appear above your head and whispered in their ear.

These are children we're talking about, they lack the ability for critical thinking.

just grab a pair of cheap Clark Kents. girls will avoid you.

use a james bond pen if you only want pictures.

so I've given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they're going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around. also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That's been banned, but probably only because they're making their own. https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/ice-banned-meta-glasses-now-154840012.html

Guerilla warfare glasses. Highlights property owned by billionaires.

What teen boys can even fucking afford those? They're like £500 for a stupid pair of glasses

so if perverts are not allowed on school property and it is considered private space for that reason... so who is enforcing that law? the fuck happened to this society? everyone just seems to be victims all the time. no doers.

Seems like something title 9 should be used to quash, but civil rights for women are only important if transgender people exist in public somewhere

Is there any actual data to support the claim you're making, or are you taking a few viral videos and using them as a means to support your own implicit bias?

who is the victim in this story? is it the girls targeted by boys recording them against their will and doing unsavory things with the footage? or is it the boys recording the girls against the will, getting caught, and getting their priorities set straight?

The girls need to fight back with photos of them. Watch how fast they put a stop to it.

I feel like everyone is talking about these glasses and I've never seen anyone wearing them. Not saying it's not happening but I think it's a US thing Is it just a power of glasses with plastic lenses and a camera or do they actually have any other features, because if it's just a camera then they're really isn't any legitimate market.

Good for the girls, they'll know which boys to stay away from!

Did we not learn from those X-ray goggle ads in the 50s? Boys are pervs and any toy that achieves it will get whatever adolescent/pre-adolescent boys can summon. Actually, Zuck learned to exploit this craving. Sick fuck.

this is going to be a bad ADA issue

I love how the only meaningful outrage over these are the impact to women. Everyone else is basically worthless to our cultural value system.

recording teachers should be another valid use, you would bot believe the number of times teachers don't do their legally mandated reporting and brush everything under the rug

this article is stupid for another reason: go on youtube and look up camcorder footage of public high schools in the 90s. absolutely NOBODY is anxious about getting filmed, and nobody has bad intentions, and nobody would write an article about it. maybe things ARE worse but maybe the situation is more complex than meta glasses.

Data. Stats. Compilation of actual, verified reports. But, your response does answer my question, and you should know it's not 2014 anymore. No matter how fashionable your algorithm has made you think that it is to smear men as a whole, the rest of the world has seen how ridiculous it is. If you think you get to lump me or your male friends in with these people without being asked to prove it, you should maybe have enough respect for the men in your life that you esteem to actually hunt down some evidence before posting things like this. Have a great day.

I think young men don't know how to flirt anymore. I think many of them think they are flirting in some weird way but they have no clue that they are actually bothering/pestering/harassing these woman. I mean I know too many young men that don't have licences, don't know how to use a lawn mower, can't ride a bike, completely useless men...just can't do anything besides go to school play video games and not much else. I do blame technology. Keep your kids off online gaming imo. Bust out the old games or only let them play offline games on a console or PC. Especially no cell phone games. Cut YouTube to practically nothing. Get them outside...

can journalism please stop digging deep into the cambridge to pull out words like 'wheedles?' i've been on this earth for almost 50 years, and i've read thousands of texts and never seen that word fucking ever. you should NOT have to look in the dictionary to read pop culture drivel. these dipshits are just trying to justify their privileged educations, and the ironic thing is that none of them can write for shit despite needing a private school/ivy league pedigree to churn out vacuous thinkpieces for teen vogue and futurism (whatever the hell that is).
