    Pervert glasses should not be in quotes. If humanity were mature enough to handle this technology without harassment of women or generally any human, it could be a boon - but with the way society works currently and the backsliding regarding womens rights worldwide this is something that should be removed from the market until society is mature enough to handle it. Not every technology should be available to the public if it leads to such results.

    Simple fix: make these glasses only work as recording devices when every person in view has said “I consent to this interaction to be recorded”. Anyone else coming in - they shut off if they don’t consent within 10 seconds or so. Also, make activation of recording a voice command a la “I will now start recording if everyone consents”. If this isn’t loudly voiced, recording cannot start. All of this would make sure that only the really criminal elements would be able to use their devices “the pervert way” - and this should be punished hard by law.

          If you modify your glasses your eyes are gauged out, a pepe is branded on your forehead and you’re made to wander the wastelands (Detroit).

      Society mature enough? Lol. That would literally never happen.

      Just leave them on the market. At least these are recognized video glasses. There’s plenty of other spy cams that aren’t. Including other glasses. People doing something shitty with a product shouldn’t ruin things for everyone else. Let every business ban them if they want. If everything that could be used for “bad” purposes got taken away, we wouldn’t have a damned thing.

      Just fyi, I don’t own a pair, and have no intention on owning a pair.
