Also already legal to take overt photos in public areas within some rational parameters (no upskirts, but otherwise it's pretty open.)
People HATE the idea that they are being recorded but the reality is it's already happening every single day in all kinds of places you'd never expect. Never forget every phone has a camera on the back... and on the front... Ask yourself: Does yours notify you when it's in use?
Then just think about things like key fob cameras, button cameras..
Edit: Note, the Meta Smart Glasses are only releasing in the US, Canada and the UK. All three countries have no laws protecting privacy from photography in public, though my original comment was clearly about the US. Your local area will have it's on laws and restrictions, enjoy your regulations!
Depends on the country though. Not every country allows you to take photos of others even in public
Sure in some countries you'll just be shot on site but we're talking about an american company... so I was talking american law...
Yes, because Meta only operates in the states... How americentric can you get?
Have you looked at where you can even buy these? US and Canada are 2 out of the 3 countries...
