Teen Boys Are Using Meta Glasses to Terrorize Girls at High Schools and Middle Schools
Teen boys are using Meta's AI glasses to harass and bully victims -- overwhelmingly girls -- at middle schools and high schools.
I’m genuinely terrified by those… Any solution to avoid them besides looking closely at everyone wearing glasses?
I know there are apps that try to detect them but I don’t want to leave Bluetooth enabled on my phone 24/7
In my experience, those apps don’t detect immediately, sometimes only alarming beyond 5 mins after contact. I have to assume by default to save power the scans are rate limited, like with WiFi scans.
Those apps have to be allowed to scan when the glasses are transmitting to detect them, providing limited success.
WTF
It’s crazy how awful adults can be.
Buried in the copy:
We need better laws.
In spades, there used to be, in common law, a requirement for third party consent to be photographed if profit ensued, Mayhap that needs resurrection.
Gee! Who could possibly have seen that coming… I mean, clearly there was no way for anyone to imagine such a possibility!! And certainly not a company who employs teams of psychologists!
Glassholes aside -> top photo is a stock image. But I’ve seen lots of times where well meaning ppl try to anonymize a photo with black-bars over eyes like that, or a blur that can be reversed like spirals or w/e. Maybe that was effective long ago. Today, with such powerful FR tech, that won’t do the job.
I want to see a huge culture shift. Where we have huge peer pressure against ever u/l’ing somebody without their consent. Ever.
Hard agree, but it’s the same as just taking photos with a phone without consent of third parties, but on your face.
Same demographic doing Epstein and Diddy jokes perpetuating the same shit that enables predators. Who could’ve guessed?
