alt Hacker NewsWhich is true for all parents recording all kids with every kind of camera, also in a way that is totally un-actionable.
Good faith question:
If your worry is, "I don't know you're recording", what did you do with that information when someone was using a digital camera to video record their kids 15 years ago, with you in the background?
P.S: if your answer is just "you could be a creep", I totally empathize, but this is for the situation where I am actually just a parent.

I'm the asshole that covers his face while flipping off the person with the camera. I've done this for years. It used to be for news or other TV based content that they would blur out the finger gesture which meant blurring out my face. I've also noticed a camera in public places and deliberately stepped behind someone else as a blocker, or just moved to be behind the person with the camera. These are easy to do when it's obvious there's a camera. Glassholes are much more difficult to notice. Comparing these as equivalent is just a lack of being rational.

The glasses are a trust destroying device that degrades privacy.
If someone shoves a camera in my face in public I am going to move away from that person. If I see them filming someone with me in the background at least I know what is going on and can judge the situation accordingly.
Now I don't know. Everyone with glasses is a suspect. It's more public tension, hyper vigilance and uncertainty.
My phone's camera is not playing all the time and doesn't send the data to Meta. It just records a file locally, it's not the same at all.
