alt Hacker NewsWorkers report watching Ray-Ban Meta-shot footage of people using the bathroom

How many times will the same report be regurgitated and reposted? There is nothing added here that the original source didn't cover already (https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-...). Read that instead of the derivative blogspam.
Facebook at it again - creating the worst possible image in society of a potentially useful technology by their carelessness and greed.
Similar to Pokemon Go big tech can get footage in places not visible from the road. At work in the restroom should be a notification to HR and lawsuits. In some states this would be jail time [1].

Privacy-wise, isn't this completely on-brand and expected from Meta? Is anyone surprised by these kinds of revelations?
Putting a camera and microphone on your head and wearing it all day, connected to a platform with Mark Zuckerberg at the helm... what do you expect?
Deserved.
We have been telling people to stay away from big USA tech companies and what they do??
Buy a smart glass from said company!!
No symphaty, and knowing how the system works, these videos will never be deleted and will move from one hanf to another, until somebody leaks them online or request money.
People never learn!!!
It's cheaper for them to settle in a lawsuit than what they are gaining by doing this. If it wasn't, they wouldn't. The laws are broken.
Won't this cause significant legal issues in two party consent states and have a huge potential to run afoul of revenge porn laws?

True creeper glasses.
Meta does Meta things (again). People surprised (again).

Still, amazing how Meta (and Luxottica?) massaged the media to have the wearers of its dystopian goggles not labeled how they ought to be labeled: Glassholes.
Anyone wearing these glasses in public should be punched in the face. Especially public transport.
"Dumb fucks". Honestly... Volenti non fit iniuria.
"using the bathroom" will be the least of what they're watching people do. Anyone wearing these glasses (or similar) should know that all of the audio/video picked up by the glasses will be watched and analyzed by others, likely by AI as well. Just like the entire point of facebook is to spy on people and profit from that data, the entire point of these devices is to spy on people in ways that the facebook app doesn't/can't and profit from that data.
