alt Hacker NewsPrivate businesses, however, can choose to refuse service for any reason as long as it’s not discriminatory. If enough businesses collaborated to create a “no camera glasses” policy, people might be less likely to buy them. This could keep the market small.
Perhaps a good approach would be to pressure businesses about this. Frankly they probably don’t want pervasive recording of their employees anyway.

I’m d assume businesses like social media attention, so if these cameras post to Social Media that’s free advertising.
Also, how would you differentiate banning cameras on glasses vs cameras on smartphones. It could get murky

I highly doubt that businesses will take a stand against these camera glasses. The kind of people that buy these smart glasses are usually a) wealthy, and b) not very frugal. What business would want to turn away the people with lots of money?
