Fishing YouTuber defends Meta AI glasses against privacy backlash
YouTuber Robbie Alexander defends Meta glasses against privacy concerns.
Meta glasses have drawn criticism from councils worried about secret recording at pools. The mayor of Canterbury-Bankstown called them 'pervert glasses'.
Robbie Alexander is a fishing YouTuber with nearly 100,000 subscribers. He uses the glasses to check weather, temperature and business hours while fishing.
He also uses them to film his catches. Alexander rejects the backlash.
He argues that people cause harm, not glasses, when they misuse them. A bright light indicator shows when recording happens.
He thinks that is fair. Some users behave badly.
But he believes banning the device punishes responsible users too. Regulate the misuse, not the tool, he says.
