    I remember back in the early 2000s, when MiniDV cameras got popular.

    They were all obviously a camera just based on the look, they had an obvious lens cap, and even a clear record light so that people could see that they were being recorded.

    It is insane that we have done away with all of that, and are actively camouflaging cameras in every day items.

    Smart glasses should be banned.

      What we need is regulation. These companies will not show ethical behaviour on their own.

      See e.g. right to repair, USB-C.

        Regulation with fines exceeding the profits made on the product.

        No more static fines, or fines that are anything less than 100% of the profits made on breaching the regulations.

          I believe the way EU enforces those regulations is through a supply chain sales ban. Banned products are just not sold here.

          Fines are for software products and behaviours which.
