    This needs to be spun as for child safety. So pedophiles can’t record kids in public. Fight fire with fire.

    I have a feeling this is gonna be the same result as when people signed to try and get the government not to do digital ID checks for accessing the internet. In one ear and straight shot through the empty void of an MP head to go out the other ear.

    Would love to see it happen, though, if it does go to Parliament over there.

    Not sure how I feel about them. On one hand they appear to allow pervy recordings, but banning something like this could open the way to prevent public recordings altogether by the back door. There has been ways to do covert recording in a similar way without the glasses in the past, so I think the main change is the blurring of special purpose hardware and everyday hardware.

    I feel a specific offence for convert targeted recording of a person for sexual reasons would be better than just banning smart glasses.

    It might actually be the fact that Facebook are the ones making that makes me not like them.

      Have 4 lights Make their light flash and blink like a reversing dump truck everytime the camera is active, even if it isn’t clicking a picture or recording a video.

    How about a smart necklace then? Or a smart-er watch? Dashcam? The shape doesn’t really matter.
