“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.

    The cameras on poles can’t see literally everywhere, and can’t physically follow you around.

    And the cameras on poles have (at least in theory) regulations and laws governing how their footage can (and cannot) be used.

    MetaCreepSpecs don’t have any such restrictions.
