   If anyone wants to see the video: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=dHKhYL3is5o" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=dHKhYL3is5o

   He did harass them a bit. I&#x27;m looking forward to Meta taking down all videos where someone is a bit harassed. Internet will be a much nicer place!

      &gt; He did harass them a bit.

      Maybe I&#x27;m too European to understand, where exactly is harassment occurring? He&#x27;s asking Meta employees questions, doesn&#x27;t seem to follow them around, and when they walk away or say no, he doesn&#x27;t exactly force them to stay or anything? Doesn&#x27;t there have to be some intimidation or humiliation or similar for it to be harassment? Or asking employees what they think of the products they develop and support is the harassment part?

         That&#x27;s the point.

         If everyone is wearing the glasses, wherever you go, you&#x27;ll be filmed all the time, with most people not bothering to ask.

            I mean, you are being filmed everywhere you go anyway by flock cameras, police&#x2F;government cctv, even cctv on business and peoples house&#x2F;ring doorbells etc. Concent to being filmed in a public place is not really asked anywhere, so I dont see it as a big difference personally.

               Try to have the 24&#x2F;7 cameras at chest level or lower, you&#x27;ll find people starting to get uncomfortable. You can easily reach those angle with the glasses, and different with smartphone which also can, the glasses can be hard to distinguish.

                  Ring doorbell cameras are chest high and millions of homes have them. I would bet every time you walk down the street you are captured by loads of them, but because you dont know you dont care.

                     Ring doorbell cameras don&#x27;t move and aren&#x27;t attached to people&#x27;s faces. Come on.

                        &gt; Come on

                        I&#x27;ve said this out loud several times while reading the comments defending Meta under this post.

                        It&#x27;s so interesting to see so many weak or misdirecting justifications. It&#x27;s almost as if people are here to attempt to control the narrative for financial reasons.

                           No, I just dont care about being filmed in public.

                           If I enter a public space I consider that anybody could watch me at any time, therefore I am always careful in public and always consider that walking out of my property is consenting to anybody else seeing me. Cameras are already everywhere.

                           Personally I dont see a difference between someone watching me on the street or recording me and watching it back. Its just no different to me.
