Great name
simonebrunozzi•14m ago
Yes, the name is absolutely a genius move.

I would bet my money that there's a dozen lawyers at work, right now, in Meta's HQ, to get a sense of what options they have to harass, shut down, or do something else to the creator of this app. And I would also bet that Zuck is furious about it.

This is fantastic.

Does it beep louder as the BT signal strength changes and the camera comes closer?
KellyCriterion•5m ago
It says:

> Flags camera glasses by their manufacturer signature <

How is this guaranteed to be not spoofed?

dubcanada•3m ago
Where does it say that is guaranteed? Nobody can guarantee that.

Reading this inspired me that it would be nice if there were a do-not-film-me standard: your mobile phone sends out a do-not-film-me request with a (rotating) hash of your facial biometrics via Bluetooth. All cameras (glasses, phones, etc.) then blur your face in recordings.

Similarly, a venue could request a do-not-film-this-venue setting and make sure no photos are taken at a party.

These are social problems not technology problems.

We want a society that does not need these workarounds.

Amazing. But it won't work for long, they'll patch the BT beacons with some "privacy" mode :(
