Creeps have a new way to harass women - Meta Glasses

Why is it there's always creeps when you're out and about? From cat calling, to following girls home, to filming without your consent all the way to cringe rizz videos being made for tiktok. And it gets darker as some guys can't take no for an answer leading to awful results. Tech has just made this all so much worse though thanks to smart glasses, with meta rayban smart glasses being the most popular. Guys are secretly filming people, usually women without their consent, with these guys pretending to have genuine conversations with them to only upload them online, with these women then being found IRL by people they don't even know. AND Meta are trying to roll out broad facial recognition software so any wearer can identify people they see, this is huge and we need to talk about it!
