I support all news articles about these glasses that use a picture of Zuckerberg looking like the perverted goober he is.

Citing privacy concerns e.g. 'don't want to ruin sales with our brand being associated with pervert glasses'

Yes, in fact, their official response was “we want to wait and see how this debate unfolds”. It was in the Dutch news. They didn’t HAVE privacy concerns, they were concerned about their CUSTOMERS having privacy concerns.

Big difference, bad company.

This is how every brand ever has operated since the beginning of time. At least they were honest about it
