“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF’s investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck’s pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick’s sake.

    That’s not what is being discussed though (streaming video to fb/google/government/etc).

    That’s where it would start crossing the line into surveillance, which has strict laws around it.

          The same way smartphones do, either streaming it or by uploading to whatever cloud “backup” they’re connected to. Again, I should not have to explain this to you.

            They’re factually not though. If you’ve somehow caught them doing it, transferring gigs and gigs and gigs of data per hour, provide the evidence please. These claims of yours are simple to prove if true.
