   We need to move beyond just banning these glasses - all smart glasses of all kinds - to breaking up these companies. Undo the acquisitions of Insta and Whatsapp - I don't care that will be expensive, thats a shareholders problem.

      We should together stop calling devices which film in dressing / locker rooms smart.

      These devices record video & sound track serve Ads and do Data fusion

      What if you took a cam corder to a locker room? People would be upset, that is not allowed. That would not be nice. This is not nice either

         I don't like it but it's totally normal, especially for youth, to have their cell phones out in locker rooms. Targeting only glasses with this concern is largely out of touch with current behavior.

            My children's school have an interesting way of dealing with the ever growing list of devices they need a policy for. They borrowed the police term "data carrying devices" and wrote a policy based on that. When Metas glasses started to be come a problem no policy change was needed for the school, they were automatically covered.

            That's probably the best solution, deal with the functionality, not the device type.
