Private businesses, however, can choose to refuse service for any reason as long as it’s not discriminatory. If enough businesses collaborated to create a “no camera glasses” policy, people might be less likely to buy them. This could keep the market small.

Perhaps a good approach would be to pressure businesses about this. Frankly they probably don’t want pervasive recording of their employees anyway.

I highly doubt that businesses will take a stand against these camera glasses. The kind of people that buy these smart glasses are usually a) wealthy, and b) not very frugal. What business would want to turn away the people with lots of money?

Walmart? Target? Other large retailers who don’t want people covertly filming employee interactions for “content?”

Plus the footage goes on social media as free advertising.

Plenty? Random dive bars, for example, probably don’t care how rich you are (it’s not like a millionaire is going to buy 10x more $5 beers than an average person).

I’m d assume businesses like social media attention, so if these cameras post to Social Media that’s free advertising.

Also, how would you differentiate banning cameras on glasses vs cameras on smartphones. It could get murky

If you care about attention, a move like that is likely going to create enough controversy to get you a great deal of attention actually.
