If you know anyone in the European Union who is seriously considering buying Meta's spyglasses, please remind them that using those privacy nightmares would make them a controller according to the GDPR. They'd be responsible for ensuring full compliance with our privacy laws, which - surprise, surprise - will be impossible.
Please tell them to save themselves and everyone around them the trouble and give the money to any NGO instead.
