A new report found dozens of videos promoting "pickup artist" and prank content despite a promise to remove people who violate the platform's harassment policies.
Stop using Instagram. It's a platform run by assholes and monsters.
We should carry lasers and point them at the lenses we see in public. Maybe when these assholes go blind they'll stop assisting the surveillance state.
It's mind boggling how many people - even here on lemmy - that simp for this garbage, insisting it's no different than a phone recording (dumbest fucking argument ever) and that we're always being surveilled anyway.
Yeah, we fucking get it, creep, you don't care about your privacy. WE FUCKING GET IT. Fuck right off with your shitty fucking take.
Instagram Is Still Drowned in Creepy Pervert Glasses Content
I was at Best Buy recently, first time in many years. I got to see a pair in person for the first time. The things feel cheap af. Like cheap plastic sunglasses for kids. I was a little surprised.
The only correct response is shouting “PERVERT” in their face until they leave
I think they were being displayed, not worn.
You gotta call the display a "PERVERT"! Bully it out of the store! :3
Yes, they were on display. I should have clarified that I did not snatch a pair of pervert glasses off a glasshole's face and examine them.
I like it, or maybe “traitor.” If every person that passed me hissed “traitor” or “pervert” I probably wouldn’t want to wear conspicuous markers of my partnership with the surveillance state.
Some 1a auditors are wearing them precisely to get that reaction, easy content.
Are they only in the US? Don't think I've ever seen them in Europe

Germany too! https://m.slashdot.org/story/456972
Wow impressive. I thought the UK enjoyed surveiling their citizens, but maybe because Meta is a foreign entity they can't just bludgeon into getting data from, it has to be banned.
It's only in courts, where photography has been banned for a long time.
Germany too. https://m.slashdot.org/story/456972
There was a recent story about a large retailer (Kmart) in Australia selling out of a cheaper brand (Anko) of pervert glasses
