   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?

         Arguing about whether to call this kind of behavior a harassment or &quot;a bit&quot; of a harassment is in my opinion all besides the point.

         This video mainly shows a person approaching other people in public and recording them with these glasses. Which is one of the typical scenarios in which such a glasses are probably going to be used. And that video shows that even the Meta employees themselves generally do not seem to like it very much.

         That is the point.

            We already have thousands of videos made by way more hostile people, who test the patience of people in public and even get themselves occasionally arrested, and they&#x27;re very obviously holding cameras and shoving those cameras in people&#x27;s faces.

            I&#x27;m not sure how it follows that glasses will encourage more of that behavior.
