People don’t care about public recording as much as they did at the time of the glass launch.

The ubiquity of the smartphone camera and the public revelations about government surveillance did much to normalize recording in public.

It would be nice to establish norms and laws around anonymization of facial recordings and the need to auto-blur.

But I wouldn’t count on public outrage to hold the line on recording. I don’t anticipate the degree of public backlash we saw with glass.

Are you joking? I'm way, way more freaked out about the surveillance state now than before? Meta has way more capability to track and target users, way more than ever before.

Personally I agree. My comment is about public opinion. I’m not arguing the public ought to feel this way but rather that they do feel this way.

That matters for thinking about what products will receive public push-back.

Also, it’s harder to know if someone is recording.

If someone wasn’t recording, the paranoia is much smaller.
