    I don't get how these glasses can gather so much info if a bunch
    of your pictures are not on social media, can someone explain?

    My pictures aren't uploaded to social media, but I might appear in
    photos my friends upload there ...

    Best to avoid Meta and most social media if you want privacy.
    On my street there are 17 houses. Seven have a camera facing the
    driveway.

    I'm completely covered. I have never participated in any social media
    and for years I havn't had any friends!

    They all need to verify the age of their users, as required by law in
    various countries. One way to do this is to ask users to provide ID.
    Another option is to use a webcam to estimate users' ages based on their faces.

    OS creators will even be required to verify the age of their users.
    Microsoft has already incorporated this into their updates, although it
    is not yet active. Small Linux distributors are likely to struggle
    because they are unlikely to have the budget to plan for such
    requirements. They are highly likely to stop working on this and do
    something else instead.

    I think you're referring to the Surveillance State.

    All the Cool Kids wear paper bags over their heads.

    Cameras can see many things that your eyes don't. That's how gay pedos get caught so easily. They can see gay when others can't.

    I have a slingshot with a scope that will drive a camera right through the siding on a building, or just plain smash it to smithereens.
