Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.
And existing recording devices with recording indicators can be modified too…this isn’t about covering every single edge case, this is about covering the bulk and making the rest actionable.
I disagree, these devices represent a new problem that go pros and other existing devices (phones) don’t - they’re pseudo-anonymous if you don’t know what to look for specifically on the eyewear, and are modded by creeps to prevent even that indicator - https://leafandcore.com/2025/10/25/meta-glasses-creep-mod-gaining-attention/
these assholes want to creep film everywhere and say “oh no they’re just sunglasses” or “oh no it’s not recording now” then upskirting and downshirting innocent bystanders.
fucking gross, and not the same as other existing devices where you’d have to hold it somewhere to get the shot.
“oh but what about button spy cameras and-”
fuck that shit, it was old school shitty lenses and terrible sensors, not high resolution eye-spy-specs from a company already proven multiple times to be happy to invade people’s privacy.
You don’t think that this is about making it actionable…or? Not sure what part of what I wrote you’re disagreeing with.
so fucking what? just because older devices can be used by the creeps, why create new, more capable creeping devices for the creeps?
You think I’m advocating for more creeper devices with that statement?
I keep seeing ‘but what about X’ in these comments and refuse to equivocate these devices. Clarify your statement if you mean otherwise.
Not my job to police your assumptions.
