The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

    Yeah, I can see that. I held out from Meta/FB for years for my data’s sake until I started dating a woman in South America and now I have to have What’sAp.

    I would love a private version, too, yes, where I had full control over my data. If Meta is taking basic metadata here, such as location, I think I would still use it, but if they are accessing the actual footage, or getting way to granular with the metadata, then yeah I guess that’s a bit more alarming. Still, it’s not far from what we already have today. You have to fight to not have all your behavior tracked.
