There's a real "let's do everything they told us we couldn't" thing going on at Meta now. The facial recognition glasses bring to mind an old story I haven't seen mentioned today: Facebook built a feature like this a decade ago and didn't release it

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

It says a lot that the media keeps elevating this guy instead of, e.g. David Bentley Hart, despite Hart's mirror image resume: Orthodox convert, First Things, rebelling against the disenchanted world, cult online following. Of course, Hart is not a perv, pretty anti-racist, and a member of DSA.
