And before people come down on me for missing the point, I'm not. Yes, the glasses CAN absolutely be used for peeping tom action, and yes, they are stupid convenient for that. That they ARE being used for peeping tom actions is because people as a whole suck, and the solution to that is to make people suck less. I also know some shady marketing re: it being an accessibility tool happened. I wouldn't agree that marketing is sound, but it DOES genuinely take away a crazy amount of barriers for quite a few people. A tool can be an accessibility aid, a no-not-quite-that-much-of-an-accessibility-aid, and a peeping tom tool all at once. I don't have numbers on which one is the truest. But making the pervert tool disappear also means killing off a tool that improved peoples' independence. So ... yay yay celebrate, I guess?

    @zersiax@cupoftea.social I take your point. A walking stick can be used as a weapon. I occasionally hear things with my hearing aids that maybe I shouldn't.
