A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

    I have several perspectives on this:

    1: that’s wrong and you shouldn’t break other peoples stuff. just ask nicely. 2: that’s right and he shouldn’t have been videoing you. also weren’t meta glasses originally for exercising and stuff I saw an add where people were running and asking meta how they could improve and taking calls and stuff

      “he shouldn’t have been videoing you” why? I can see the argument that it’s socially rude, but its absolutely legal in public.

      People’s notion that they can’t be filmed genuinely feels like children screaming “stop looking at me!!!”

        It should be noted that the legality depends on local laws. There are definitely countries where this is illegal.

          Then advocate for changing the law. Its childish to think you get to just assault people and destroy their shit because they’ve made you uncomfortable

          You dont get to assault people and destroy property for being rude though is the point. Not holding the door for someone is rude but you can’t then punch them for it, legally.
