"Normies" once feared this during the Google Glass days, but enough time has passed and enough cameras have been placed everywhere that they are okay with it now. They will even pay the $700 to have the privledge of having Zuckerberg camera on their face all day.
Meta has still struggled in the hardware space Revenue from Reality Labs is still under 2% Maybe because nobody wants Zuck’s SpyWearables

Wait till you look in your pocket...
I disagree majority of the time phones are in the pocket with the camera obstructed. Microphones yes but this is way more surveillance potential.
I disagree I can see these selling out. They are getting close to acceptable balance of a screen on your face. It seems like with the wristband they made it intuitive as well. We shall see.
Probably a money loser they more focus on accumulating users. Cost less than an iPhone.
Surveillance in context of who ? : people who wear the glasses or the ones they are looking at ! .. For the first category .. both are same . .. Meta can't survail you more if you are wearing glasses or carrying the phone .. cuz they anyway know everything about you :-) Yes .. now you can be a ninja agent with a blink of an eye you can record your Barista , postman , teacher and people passing by 😭😭😭 O btw ... You support smartphones and care for surveillance ! That is a bit odd ..
Just had a severely dyslexic friend show me how much of a game changer it is for his life. He can order food, read signs, look at papers and documents discreetly without having his need called out. Love it for him.
Privacy narratives are a way to get featured on NPR :-) .. this is a way to bring the product into mass awareness .. get the conversation started .. if 1 percent bought , the narrative scales to next level ..
People should be shamed for pointing cameras at another person without asking first. This product wouldn't exist if people were polite and still asked before pointing a camera.

Phones have cameras. If someone is talking on their phone in public and they turn their head, they are pointing a camera at you. That's not to mention that eyeballs are actually cameras too. What exactly is the scope and meaning of your criticism?

True. If you catch someone raping a child while wearing these glasses then you have to destroy the evidence or you will go to jail for recording child porn.
