No. Ostracize those who wear it, especially the ones disabling the recording lights.
No expectation of privacy in public I’m afraid :( not legally anyway.
Maybe not in the US, but that’s not true on the rest of the planet.
Fair enough I need to realize this place isn’t as American as Reddit.
Privacy, no, but many states have laws in place to prevent voyeurism - https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9A.44.115 for example. so creeping on women and children, even in public, is a class c felony.
Meta is already facing backlash for people using these things to harass workers and women, too.
