    People wear their glasses everywhere, including a variety of places where there is an expectation of privacy or where it is otherwise prohibited to record.

    VERY solid point.

    The introduction of tech that makes it impossible to distinguish between someone minding their own business and someone recording you

    This isn’t new tech though. I can record on the down-low now and have been able to for some time.

    People attacking Glasses users are ignorant of this fact.
