I love how they put a pic of “Epstein File Mark” in the article ;)
Can’t ever be enforced until the largest list of the most depraved sex offenders on the planet can be “permabanned”
Just ban the sales of pervert glasses, period.
It’ll accomplish the same thing, but be a lot easier legally.
But that’s their whole demographic.
Rise up.
Buying and using, if it should make sense.
Uh oh, Mark’s about to lose his glasses.
They gonna ban the usage in cinemas, then super markets, then the gyms, then they gonna ban guys to buy them, ban dogs to buy them, ban…
They gonna “ban” everything else but the glasses selling itself… Can’t touch big corpos you know…
See, the whole joke was that Mark was the sex offender. It was a bit of a sideways jab and can be missed.
With smart glasses, everyone’s a sex offender.
A completely unenforceable idea driven by moral panic. We’re already seeing plenty of cheap ones on temu, and other more covert types of cameras have been available for years. (Look up pen cameras on Amazon, you’ll look at anyone with a pen in their shirt pocket very differently for the rest of your life)
Not to mention there’s already open source 3d printed smart glasses. Which means this would no doubt lead to calls for ID checks to buy a 3d printer.
Good thing they won’t be able to buy used.
/S
I would agree only if the responsibility to not carry smart glasses is on the offender only, so vendors wouldn’t have to check their ID, but the perp could be arrested and charged for having them.
