The glasses are much more difficult to detect than someone holding up a phone to record. Will the glasses always look super obvious? The old Google ones were ginormous, I don’t know if I would recognize the FB ones in the wild.

You can generally tell when a phone camera is pointed in your general direction within a reasonable range. It’s uncommon enough for people to do this in public outside of large crowds (concerts, sporting events, etc) that avoiding those situations isn’t an undue burden. With the glasses, can you tell whether they’re recording or do you just have to assume that they’re always recording?

This is a non trivial escalation and I will definitely shun and or shame anyone I encounter with this trash tech.

And there is nothing wrong with hating Zuck, his companies and the other billionaires destroying society. If you don’t have issues with existential threats then that is a bigger issue.

The glasses are very chunky. They have a light to show they're recording, and if you deliberately disable it you could just as well conceal your phone or whatever in a bag.

There's nothing wrong with hating Zuck, but that shouldn't extend to uncritically hating everything relating to him and his companies to the point where you're willing to advocate or excuse violence against his customers, which is happening here.
