    How would you implement it? On a glass that the user controls (root), it would be impossible. Of course, I do not like bathroom recordings, but there’s no sane way to block them.

      sure there is, ban them.

      it’d be insane to simply throw your hands up and say ‘well can’t do anything about it’. stop giving the creeps better creeping tools.

        And I would NOT be opposed to banning the glasses. I would be opposed to forcing nonfree AI on the users, because that would make them lose control.

          no one brought up this canard so stop distracting.

          but software is not the right way to enforce that.

          agreed, make them illegal to import and fine anyone violating that law.
