Based on the following article: https://archive.

If Facebook is addressing privacy concerns up front, this means they are planning to violate your privacy.

Facebook insists the spectacles... were designed with privacy in mind

Translation: We intentionally designed these as sunglasses because they will presumably be worn outdoors, where Americans do not have a ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’. We designed these glasses to violate your privacy.

The glasses.... allow wearers to ... capture photos and short videos and share them across Facebook’s services using a companion app.

Translation: The glasses will continually monitor people and send video back to the mother-ship’s facial recognition system. Even if the wearer doesn’t know who you are, we do. Hey, you’re in public, you have no right to privacy.

We have a big responsibility to help people feel comfortable and provide peace of mind, and that goes not only for device owners but the people around them, too.

Translation: The people who wear these glasses don’t care about their own privacy, why would they care about yours? If you see somebody wearing theses glasses, beware, you’re privacy is going to be violated.

Zuckerberg touted hardware protections like a power switch to turn off the mic and camera... [He] insisted in the presentation video that when the glasses are turned off, “they are completely off.”

Translation: The glasses must be manually turned off and are designed to record when not being worn. They can be set on a table in a restaurant or office or in a shirt pocket or sun glass holder and still be recording. If the user doesn’t turn them off, don’t blame us if your privacy is violalted.

“We put this LED light on the front of the glasses so that people around you will know when you’re taking a photo or video,” Zuckerberg said.

Translation: We partnered with Ray-ban because these glasses look exactly like the millions of other Ray-ban’s that have been worn for decades. If you don’t notice the little red LED, it’s your problem that your privacy has been violated.

“Hopefully we don’t have folks using these for stalking,”

Translation: The glasses are going to be used to stalk anybody and everybody in public where sunglasses are normally worn.

“Unfortunately, those features weren’t included in this first iteration of these smart glasses”

Translation: We consulted with privacy experts who recommended an automatic disable function when the LED is covered and that the glasses be easily distinguishable from regular Ray-bans but they don’t fully understand our objective. We designed theses glasses to violate your privacy, why would we include features that make it more difficult?

Facebook, which has in the past faced criticism over its handling of user data, said it would not access the media used by its smart-glasses customers without their consent.

Translation: Like all of our other products, the user must consent to their privacy being violated when they sign up. The beauty of these glasses is we can easily violate the privacy of people nearby the user without getting their consent. Duh!

The company also said it would not use the content of the photos or videos captured using the glasses... for personalizing ads, and said the glasses would be an “ads-free experience.”

Translation: We already know everything there is to know about the person wearing these glasses. It would be foolish to discourage them from gathering more and more information about other people who may not want, or consent, to us knowing about their daily activities.

Facebook has also launched a privacy-focused micro-site where it offers guidelines for responsible use of the smart glasses.

Translation: We created a separate website to address any privacy concerns you may have. Notice there’s only one point under the section about privacy of others. The red LED is designed to protect you. If they don’t notice it, it’s not your fault their privacy was violated.

Remember Pedes, the Left ALWAYS tips you off to what they’re doing. They know most people don’t pay attention so they use this tactic to justify their evil ways.

My wife posted on FB the graphic about masks useless against wildfires, therefore likely useless against COVID. She got “censored” for that post, yet the warning about masks useless in wildfires is on the CDC website.

Gotta keep the sheep in line says Mr. Goebbels, FB spokesman
