privacy

“Record in stealth. Livestream all day.” (Is that legal?)

The rare times I’ve been to parties lately (in San Francisco and London), I was surprised by the strict enforcement of this rule: stickers over everyone's phone camera lenses at all times. No exceptions.

So what happens now that everyone’s basically Spy Kids? Will people be asked to remove their glasses? Will countries with strict privacy laws require visible recording indicators on devices like status lights?

I’ve been thinking this when I slyly use my Mets glasses to subvert any No photo signs

I think the initial pushback will come from places like the UK where there’s a big event culture as well as strict GDPR adherence. But for now, those glasses can sneak by easily.

I’ve had a pair for a couple of months and love them 

There will always be people who use tech to be creepy but for the most part I’ve been seeing and making dope content!

It’s been fun to shoot portraits with them on to recount the moment in addition to the photo 📸

Someone who influenced me to consider the glasses recently was @drewcoffman.eth via a cast about watching his daughter jump into his arms and being able to record the moment in a way a phone couldn’t. A handful of people may be using it to be a creep in the club, but I imagine most have wholesome uses like this.

100% 

In the USA they are welcomed but when traveling around Europe this summer I def felt pushback when people noticed my glasses could record 

I love them and def don’t want seem them banned, but I understand the pushback
