Great, this strategy has always worked so well, don't hold the human accountable but instead assume everyone who is distracted on their phones are simply doing something that is beyond their ability to control by themselves.

Furthermore car manufacturer's surely won't stream this data back for "enhancing their detection model" or some other excuse for invading privacy and sell it forward. Not saying it'll happen immediately, but ad industry is just too profitable.

The capital of the #privacy industry is not technological, but ideological. The privacy industry's most valuable asset lies not in technology, but in the blind trust of its users.They cannot prove that their products actually do what they claim to do. They can only make promises. And users are forced to believe in these promises.That is why some projects, like #GRAPHENEOS fight such an obsessive battle against 'misinformation'. Because trust is their foundation.

Not all smart glasses have cameras, but no camera doesn't mean no recording. Camera-free pairs like the new Solos AirGo A6 still have mics that capture what you say. Get familiar with both: a lens and light mean video, but audio recordings count too.

"I don't care about privacy because I have nothing to hide" always misses the point.

Privacy is about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they're allowed to do with what they know.

Privacy is about setting boundaries to technology and those who are building it.

Privacy is about having a say in who should get to shape our future.

A handful of billionaires (and an especially vile trillionaire)?

Or us?

Japan’s KDDI just disclosed a breach affecting up to 14.2 million email accounts across six providers. The detail that stands out: some passwords were stored in plain text, not even hashed.

This keeps happening because centralized services hold enormous pools of credentials, and one flaw in one vendor exposes all of them at once.

Zerion has no accounts, no passwords on any server, nothing pooled to steal. There’s simply no database to breach.
