    Ban them? No.

    While there are misuses and privacy invasions, they still can be beneficial for some people. Bracket bans only harm those who can truely benefit from it (visual impaired, deaf, folks who need translations etc )

      yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.

      ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.

      folks who need translations

      they can point their phones’ focused camera on the text they want to translate.

      for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.

      yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system

      Special permits are a non issue. Disguised in any way cameras should be banned outright tbh
