> University officials said "no threats or acts of violence" have been reported, but they have been unable to identify all students who appear in the videos. They urged any school members affected to alert the app platform and the USF Department of Public Safety. "As a community, we share the responsibility of caring for ourselves, each other, and this place," school officials said in the alert. "By looking out for one another and promptly reporting concerns, we help ensure a safe and supportive environment for all."

> The glasses feature a small camera that can be used for recording by pressing a button or using voice controls. Meta advises users to act "responsibly" when using the glasses. "Not everyone loves being photographed. Stop recording if anyone expresses that they would rather opt out, and be particularly mindful of others before going live," the company said.

Why men are weak.
There's already been one troll on here asking why this is an issue because being a "man" they don't have to undergo this harassment on a daily basis.
But free speech! Free speech! Yeah, except a) he's not a student, b) is not on campus for any business, and c) is harassing women.
This is why we can't have nice things. Invariably some man has to go to the extreme because they are weak.
Now mod me down. The more you mod me down the more you prove my point.

Nothing a simple "fuck off" or "go fuck yourself" can't easily handle.
If desired, they could laugh at him and ask him how small his penis is.

Or they could report him and get him thrown off campus for being a creep.

How exactly is this different from the same thing with a smartphone? Don't people walk around recording TikToks of strangers with their phones every day?

Was this person doing something illegal or violating campus policy? That's not mentioned, at all, and is important context for why this would or should be newsworthy.

It's not about legality: he was on private property, and the university could legally remove him from saying 100% legal (but perhaps annoying, disturbing and/or inappropriate) things on their campus.
This sort of thing happens all the time: creepy men act inappropriately to women, and when it reaches a certain threshold, the women report it to the authorities. Sadly, it's so common it's very much not news-worthy.
What's newsworthy is that this is the first report of a creep being creepy with smart glasses (that can record video of the women).

Recording video is not illegal.
Recording audio IS illegal in California without the consent of all parties.
Since Meta glasses record audio by default, he likely broke the law.

Voyerism is a crime, but it is also a kind of psychopathic disorder that is easily sent into remission with a simple therapy - a few punches in the snout.
It helps when a person is aware that sick assholes walk among us people with this junk on their snouts, videotaping in secret without asking for permission first, because the treatment for their disease can be applied early and in a comprehensive manner.
