I think the problem is that shit manufacturers exist, so how do you regulate that. At this point you can only assume all AR glasses are sending everything they record to their manufacturer for on selling to the ir favourite data broker, because that’s literally the market. There severely limited options for ethical devices and those that do exist could be bought next week and their policies change on a dime.
We regulate that with laws with teeth. I know, that is a foreign concept for most of the US, but even there with California and lately NY there are areas who have started to hold corporations accountable (even if it is on a small scale yet). The GDPR is already basically making Metas glasses illegal in their current form, and they are currently involved into a record amount of lawsuits.
There is still a lot of work to do, but the basics have been prepared.
Yeah that’s fair. I’m in Australia so we get some of the benefits of European policy, but mostly we are slaves to whatever the US and China want to throw at us. Honestly I’m less concerned about China and more concerned about the attitudes of US corporations at this point. They’ve demonstrated time and time again that they will stop at nothing to make a line go up in the short term.
