These anti-facial recognition glasses technically work, but won’t save you from our surveillance dystopia.

    So, these actually work great when IR is used (for example you won’t be able to unlock your iPhone when wearing them), however my question is, does this help at all when just a normal photo is taken? You can wear these, have a ‘normal’ photo taken and it just looks like you’re wearing standard glasses. That could then be fed through CV, etc?

        Ma’am, this is the Internet. That’s the last place I would think of checking. If it ain’t in the headline, it didn’t happen.

          Especially when the article is paywalled (or at least login-walled).

          Most of us can’t read the article.

          We can read fine. The site linked-to by OP is paywalled, and they didn’t do the minimum courtesy of copying and pasting the article contents into the Lemmy post.

            Just google “bypass paywall”, there’s several sites that you can enter a URL and they’ll link you to common ways to bypass paywalls (usually by directing you to a site that archives news stories).

            https://archive.is/20251027135740/https://www.404media.co/zennis-anti-facial-recognition-glasses-are-eyewear-for-our-paranoid-age/

            Archive.is is a good site to try first. It typically doesn’t get articles from major news sources for a few hours after publication, but most everything else is available pretty much as soon as it is published.

            There’s so many of these paywall-lite sites now, it’s hard to read news without knowing how to bypass these paywalls.

              Those sites don’t work. They’re locked behind cloudflare and ban access for hardened browsers.

              Just fucking paste it. Or don’t post it.

        Is it an iPhone? They use IR to map your face where as (AFAIK) most Android just use CV, which is kinda my point. These would only help when IR is involved.
