    Oh, boy, Rapist Glasses

    There’s a UK Parliament petition to “Introduce an immediate ban on the sale and promotion of smart glasses”. If you’re in the UK, you might want to sign it. [UK Parliament]

    Given Parliament’s track record, they’ll probably respond by banning glasses that don’t have cameras, but I still endorse this

        Isn’t UK’s usually problem the other way around, they use "Protecting the Children"tm as an excuse to ban sensible things or take away privacy from adults? This would be a first, taking away something from Children to protect the adults.

      This seems like kind of a knee jerk response. How are “smart” glasses defined? Could such a ban also limit privacy-respecting digital facewear? When covering protests for Indymedia, I would have loved a wearable camera.

      If the only thing that makes these different from carrying a “smart” phone is the always-on camera, maybe it would be better to propose regulation specific to that?
