i can view it without login

now me too, I don't know what happened. but in the past few weeks it was always like that

I don’t understand how the glasses will work in the EU, where filming other people is against the law.

In the case of France there's two possible broken laws (not a lawyer btw):

  • If the glasses wearer upload the video/photo online, you are one of the primary subject of the frame (aka not just in he background), and didn't consent to being on the internet, you can sue.

  • Companies must legally ask you for your concent to collect personal and identifying information. If the video/photo is sent to meta for big data/ai training, they must ask for consent

Edit: "primary subject" is kinda vague and may change depending on the context. If you do a VLOG and someone does something funny in the background, not aware of the camera, and the video is re-uploaded to only feature the guy, then it becomes the primary subject, and must be asked for concent

Just break the law and hope the other side is too poor to sue. Basically like everywhere else on the planet.

In data privacy cases there are ALWAYS people that will sue - there are collectives with money and lawyers.

In general yes, but if you claim a glasshole recorded you without consent and want to sue them, it's on you to fund that legal battle. I doubt collectives are interested in individual cases.

Yes, they are. They often actually need individuals to make their case, I know of several examples.

I think no win no fee is commonplace in the EU.

that crushed ear lobe lol

I want glasses that will "hack" into their glasses

GitS style yeah!

Sure, we all get that it can be trendy to bring an old look back but... you know.

In an unrelated story:

Somone claims to have just seen Harry Caray climbing from his grave, collecting an oversized net, muttering something about one... two... three strikes... before heading towards silicon valley.

I don’t normally such punching people because they wear glasses…. But I think an exception should be made.

They’re very punch-able glasses.

”Is that a camera?"

”No"

Fake Taxi, probably...
