I have a strict policy of no Meta glasses for guests in my house. Socially, they're poison.

privacy obsessed dorks have lost every single cultural battle so far, so i wouldn't bet on it.

Is it that they're privacy obsessed, or rather that most people have a passion for self destruction and exhibition?

If you think about it, the "dork" position was the one that was most normal, it's the status-quo. The people wanting to record in lockerooms and what not is not the status-quo. They win because most people are short-sighted, or even secretly love hurting themselves.

i'm as pessimistic as you are, but this is a pretty far leap from key-signing parties and the like.

People don't care about privacy as long as a faceless corporation is doing the spying. People very much care if it has a plausible path to embarrassing or creepy situations involving actual people in your life. The chilling effect of ubiquitous phone cameras is well documented now this would amp it up by a 100. Many cool clubs already put stickers on phone cameras.

> People don't care about privacy as long as a faceless corporation is doing the spying.

This isn't true. Most everyone hates the fact they are being surveilled, but it is pervasive and people only can deal with so many complications in life.

Avoiding surveillance is not a decision or action, it is 1000 decisions and actions. Endless decisions and actions.

In my experience most people don't care at all. Even if you tell them about these topics, they find it weird, and tinfoil-hat adjacent. "If you have nothing to hide..." and "why would anyone care about my data in particular?"

Can you elaborate on this?
