Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they’re actually Meta’s new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

    The bar is a public place in that they allow in the public. You have no expectation of privacy there.

    However the bar owner as the owner can explicitly ban photography and that’s fine it’s their bar , but they have to explicitly let people know the rules.

    You ever been to a bar or a club? People are talking photos everywhere lol

      Point of clarification. It’s not “public” in the legal sense. Might be why you’re catching some downvotes. The rest of it is pretty much on point.

        Thanks for the clarification.

        Perhaps my wording was poor but I’m not sure why people don’t realise that not all places the public go are public so in those places the rules are set up by the owner.

      Have you ever been to a theater? Taking photos is banned despite allowing in the public. Please explain.

        Again. The theatre owners set the rules.

        The same as your bar example. If you owned a building or business then you can set the rules or make people leave.
