Don't let celebrities decide the future of our privacy.

Summary

The article criticizes celebrities like Kylie Jenner for normalizing Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, arguing that their promotion of wearable recording devices raises serious privacy concerns about consent, children's safety, and constant surveillance.

Kylie Jenner is being paid to promote Meta Ray-Ban sunglasses to likely get women's and Gen Z's buy-in. These glasses aren't just sunglasses. They contain cameras, microphones, and AI features that make it easier than ever to record people in everyday life. Many people have legitimate concerns about: • Privacy in public spaces • Recording without meaningful consent • Children's privacy • Harassment and exploitation • The gradual normalization of constant surveillance Would millions of people be buying into this technology if celebrities weren't normalizing it? If you share these concerns, respectfully ask the celebrities you follow whether they support normalizing discreet, personal recording devices and whether they've considered the privacy implications for ordinary people. Here is a comment you can copy, edit, and paste to celebrities' socials: We don't want AI glasses. When celebrities normalize wearable recording devices, billions of people are affected, not just those who choose to buy them. Many of us are concerned about privacy, children's safety, consent, and the normalization of constant surveillance. Kylie Jenner has already chosen to promote this technology. I hope you'll choose differently. Please put people before sponsorships.
