    What the fuck is everyone going after meta for doing exactly what all of them are doing? Surveilling all of our lives. Are we really so stupid that we only care when it’s a pair of glasses doing it FFS?

      So people shouldn’t be upset about people buying glasses that help companies spy on people, because companies spy on people?

        Lmao I had to give a very similar response to a genocide denier regarding Uyghurs in China 😅 for some reason a lot of people think that we shouldn’t criticize “bad thing” because others are also doing or have done “bad thing”. How fucking complacent can you get?

      There are dozens of us who are perfectly capable on focusing on more than one issue at a time. So no, we don’t “only care when it’s a pair of glasses”, we care when it is a pair of glasses as well as all of the other things wrong with the world.

      It is not an “either/or” situation.
