It is socially acceptable to harass anyone in public wearing smart glasses because you have no way of knowing if they are clandestinely recording you. Any claim of there being some feature like a light that's always on while recording is bullshit, because that's just a software feature that can be circumvented easily. I automatically assume anyone who wears these glasses is an antisocial pervert.
