Smart glasses are going mainstream and our privacy laws haven't caught up. The privacy act barely covers individuals wearing them, surveillance rules are a messy state by state patchwork, and Meta is reportedly building "super sensor" glasses that can record even when you're not actively using them. We're sleepwalking into this one. #privacy #surveillance #ai #smartglasses #auspol https://theconversation.com/smart-glasses-are-going-mainstream-do-current-privacy-laws-protect-us-from-the-risks-289138
