I did find a lot of news articles saying that (for example) iPhones are excluded, though none of them had a clear source. Maybe mine is outdated too, I guess we’ll just have to see when they announce the new models.

The Delegated Act I found says the exception is for

(a) appliances, including wearable devices, specifically designed to operate primarily in an environment that is regularly subject to splashing water, water streams or water immersion, and that are intended to be washable or rinseable

So I don’t think it applies to mobile phones. Or did it get changed again?

And don’t tell me it’s because you copy pasted the title of the source article or something.

Well yeah, it’s usually good practice not to change the source article’s title.

Do I think the “black communities” part was necessary in the title? Not really. But if the author decided to frame it like that, and OP wanted to repost it as-is, I see no issue with that.

Just have glasses with clear visual (possibly even auditory) indicators that they’re recording, and store the footage in an SD card, easy. Of course though, they won’t sell nearly as much because people won’t be able to use them to showcase le epic pickup skillz.

They are not used for good. Pretty sure it’s been proven a lot of individuals that have access to the footage disproportionately search through the database, likely not for law enforcement reasons.

Did you mean “despise”? …though in hindsight, “dispose” would probably be better

Erm, ackshually, Rule 34 is “if it exists, there is porn of it”.

Which means somewhere, there’s pics OF sexy anthropomorphic meta glasses. Maybe not even anthropomorphic.

Eh, even the guy in the video mentions the distribution being a factor in the hype dying down. I think with a bigger distribution they could’ve worked better, the main issue with the Meta ones is that they’re basically made to record stuff inconspicuously and that’s freaking creepy.
