This is terrible but inevitable for privacy. Meta is going to exploit this and hoard all the data all the while claiming they conform to all the laws of the land. I just wish this doesn’t take off but they are targeting sub $500 and it’s bound to get all the instagram influencers and heavy users to buy.


It is absolutely not inevitable. Please don't spread this defeatism. It is absolutely possible to ban the use of these things in public.


I am not sure of that, may be in Europe, cannot see the U.S. banning. May be some states but highly skeptical there. Better chance of it flopping or doesn’t get to a good enough threshold to matter.


"Maybe" for Europe, "highly skeptical" for the US. Fine. That's far from "inevitable"!
