This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I know this is in the EU and I'm in the US but unfortunately to keep people honest you need to be able to record them in public. It's a double edged sword yeah people will do perverted thing but there is no perfect solution.
Why do you need to be able to record people secretly? How does secretly recording a person keep them honest?
Think about it this way - if someone pulled out a knife and started stabbing people in public, should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?
In public you have no expectation of privacy….. because you’re in public. Public and private are quite literally the opposite of each other.
should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?
You can do this with a clearly visible camera.
You know, I think Goat and his ilk should be allowed to have their secret camera glasses, but only if they're required by law to look like this.
A lot of public camera share up on a pole or building and most people do t know it's there. Also how do you decide a camera is visible enough.
This is like asking how we decide that your cock isn't visible through your pants. Learn to be modest, I don't know.
So your advocating for police to inspect everyone's shorts to make sure you can't see through it enough.
I'm asking you to keep your cock in your pants.
It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.
Spaceballs, if you're standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren't lonely enough?
I don't know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn't be allowed to make this product in the first place.
I'm saying you don't get to decide what other people do in public. You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act. Just because you think someone is being rude doesn't mean I find them rude. I don't want the government to be able to dictate that. If you have a problem with being filmed don't go out in public.
I do get to, actually, through a little process called shame.
You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act.
We already do this. You cannot murder, you can't piss in public, a lot of states don't allow open carry, you can be shooed off the premises for smoking in the wrong areas. And, you can't pull your dick out. "Controlling" the way people act is actually absurdly common.
You're clearly a psycho and have no desire to have a real practical discussion about this.
Women filmed by men
We are absolutely free from prejudices, aren't we?
And clichés?
Say, isn't it a woman there in the picture, wearing these glasses? Oh, surely it is just because we always need a women for the title picture, don't we? Still no cliches, I am sure.
Sincerely, if you can’t see that the trends of behaviours like this in men outpace women significantly, you have a heavily skewed view of the realities here.
There are other phenomena too that uniquely affect men, such as violence towards a spouse when the man’s team loses a sports game.
There is no equivalent for women at that scale. We as men have to own these realities.
No, the guys who are beating up their wives have to own it. It's got fuck all to do with me as a non wife beater.
it’s got fuck all to do with me.
And therein lies your problem. You’ve taken something which seriously affects women at large, and reduced it down to something about yourself.
Empathy can be learned (it’s in us already, just needs unimpeded space). It’s a higher-order form of intelligence that helps us understand the connections between things that are not mechanical, but rather living: each other.
Living on your high horse is your problem, you need to get off it and get your feet back on the ground. Don't lecture people when they disagree with you.
Violence and mistreatment of women is of course a huge problem, which is entirely the responsibility of the guys who are perpetrating it. There is nothing to "own" for the rest of us. Your empathy is worthless.
You know that leading with benign parts doesn't successfully hide the contradictions and unhinged parts later, right?
Look, if someone is wearing these and not announcing it, i'm going to punch them. When people get their shit lit up over this, people will get the message.
We need to nationalize two-party consent for this
I’m sorry but no one believes people when they say things like this, because it’s just not true. Pretending to be a tough guy on the internet is easy, but you’re not going to choose to go to jail because you saw a person with glasses on.
ban them
