According to reports in the Irish news, Niamh Sweeney, a former senior Meta lobbyist, is set to join the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) as a commissioner in October
Ok, but what do I do about the fuckass perverts that wear Meta glasses and record and dox people in public, as has increasingly been happening? I have no Meta social media and I’m still been harassed by the Zuck.
Let’s be honest, we’re at the point where quitting Facebook/Instagram isn’t enough. Quitting Facebook isn’t gonna stop their regulatory capture, they are moving towards consumer technology and that’s just gonna be another corporate surveillance nightmare on top of what we already have.
Yeah, we have Meta glasses here in Europe, just no AI features (yet). You can take pictures and video basically wherever. A lot of right wing “influencer” types have been using them to target and take photos/record “undesirable” people in public and post them online.
Being recorded by public cameras with full knowledge vs being recorded by a private citizens in public with discrete recording devices are two very different things. Everyone was outraged with Google Glass, where is that energy for these fugly Meta Raybans?
Personal experience, some shithead tried to “discreetly” record me because I had a keffiyeh in Amsterdam. Fortunately it’s been raining here all week and I had a hat and rainhoodie on, plus a mask. Saw his sunglass light turn on (I was already suspicious, why tf is he wearing sunglasses in the rain), started yelling at him, and he bolted when the station security showed up.
More worried about my friends who insist one can’t function in society without them and become almost agitated at the thought of alternatives. It’s where they get all their news from because “the media can’t be trusted”.
You could just leave Facebook and insta

Wear a mask. They aren’t the only ones watching you.
Wait, the glasses have a doxing app?
That’s inevitable with these sorts of things. But is it here already?
