    also it has the stigma of Zuckerberg using his companies as datamining, spying, right wing peddling platforms. his name was enough to derail anything that comes out of meta.

    How do we feel about flock or similar camera networks around the world? Like yeah a dude with cameras on his face is one issue and then there’s the systemic distribution of millions of cameras which is arguably worse but feels more normal to many.

      The problem is that some people have adapted an immunity to it.

      100%. I’ve been saying it for years that at the end of the day, the only punishment that actually works is the public shaming.

      Bring back the public perp walks. March the criminal through the streets with a big banner announcing their crime, and then leave them them in a public cell in the middle of town for a few days with their name on it, their crime, and no privacy so that people can come and see them.

      A few days of that will do more to cure recidivism than any jail you can name.

        Except private prisons need the prisoners to get paid. They want the recidivism to continue.

        Ah, the good old days when we could gather in a mob and throw turds at criminals in the town centre. Might work, actually.

      ive only seen it once it public and then never after that day. i think people got the message the moment articles came out about it. but Zuckerborg intends to push this out regardless.

    I just don’t understand why they even tried. Google already proved in 2013 that people think you’re an asshole for wearing things like this, even having the term “glasshole” come about.

    It’s probably because the fucking glasses were used by the worst people at first. They were used by dudebros and weirdos who wish to do harm towards others. That’s why people called them Perv glasses. Which isn’t surprisng given Zuckerberg’s whole M.O.
