@phire What's most baffling to me is that this is even remotely unexpected to anyone whatsoever.
At this point the *only* sensible expectation is that the fascist tech giants will pull *every* *single* *bit* of nasty business they can get away with.
Things are gonna start getting better when people at large accept the fact that the billionaires are our *enemy* and the institutions we put in place to keep them in check have failed.
It's up to all of us to defend ourselves.
@renardboy @phire internet connected camera -> someone is looking at it. there's no other reasonable expectation.

Today, digital human rights group Fight for the Future is issuing a safety advisory urging family-friendly businesses, schools, hospitals, community centers and places of worship to ban the facial recognition glasses Meta manufactures in partnership with Ray-Ban.

@phire
If they bought a pair of smart glasses from Meta, Amazon, Google, or Microsoft in 2026, they should have absolutely expected this. I have no sympathy. -

I have the signs already printed up and laminated. When we open in May, they will go up very prominently.

("Yes.")

When I started working at Meta and realized how bad the company really is, I began warning friends, family, and even total strangers who would listen. It’s that serious.

If you start asking questions, you are gone.”
Who leads a team like that and thinks "i'm doing a good job!"
like damn. grow up! -
@AncTreat5358 @badsamurai @phire yeah i believe it did, and its possible the whole sentiment is what killed google glass, but i dont think zuck is gonna give up as easy
@Viss @AncTreat5358 @badsamurai @phire
Zuck, Meta and Google are fantastic at marketing extremely invasive social media and tech features as 'fun.'Here, accept these terms and conditions to let us collect and use all of your data to make cute graphics and photo edits with
flairMeanwhile, selling all that data (and then some) to ICE and other government entities. 🥴
