    Unfortunately it’s unlikely for this to be implemented in a privacy-respecting way. Arguably, even if it never “phones home”, it’s always going to be a more risky option—e.g. police can seize the glasses and see who you’ve seen, whereas they can’t seize your brain and see what faces you’ve seen. You might be fine with that risk, but will everyone you ever meet be fine with it?

          ok, this isn’t a private setting though. If she had attacked him for filming her in private i’d %1000 support her. I dont support ppl being violent because they feel like it.

            We’re not talking about the OP. We’re talking about someone suggesting smart glasses as an accessibility tool for facial recognition.
