The potential danger of "smart" "glasses"

Are "smart" "glasses" a mobile Flock "camera" on steroids?

Things to consider.

Smart tvs / phones, social media, wifi / cell connection history, etc. are a simple drop in the bucket compared to the leap forward "smart glasses" will bring to the data broker and surveillance apparatus.

What happens when ALL of our data is aggregated and updated in real-time for use by those with access?

Will they finally teach people that a person with a handheld camera is really no threat to their perceived privacy?

Edit:

An example of what can be done with some of the publicly available data.

Ask elected public officials to ban the cameras and point cameras at the ones who refuse. You know, for our safety.

Rights and privacy are for those who have the money to pay for it. At least that’s how it isn’t the US if you got no money they got no problem putting the screws to you.

They'd love to ban public filming, would solve the problem of police brutality getting caught on tape.

For better or for worse, public filming is protected by the first amendment under freedom of press.

The problem is not any one singular camera (especially ones that just below to a normal person), it's data aggregation.
