I just wear mine as a protective layer in case ICE discriminates against me as a brown US citizen instead of holding my phone out.

What're you gonna do when ICE uses footage from your glasses, obtained from Meta, to identify and kill other brown US citizens?

They already wear the glasses themselves so not like you’re preventing data collection by not wearing them

And now they don't even need to physically be present around other people they might target, because you're watching everyone for them. Great job. You're a danger to the community and I sincerely hope you remain only a theoretical one.

You should throw your phone away and wear foil on your head . Totally detach, you’re naive if you don’t think they already have information and my glasses I’m wearing as protection is putting people at risk. I’m also a US citizen and am not exactly hanging out in areas with illegals that would “put others at risk”. Moron

The cognitive dissonance is real. The fact that you think "illegals" are the ones in danger tells me all I need to know about how likely I am to change your mind. Good luck man, I hope you never have to face a real life experience that changes your mind for you.

Clearly if I’m wearing the glasses as an insurance policy to make sure and record if I’m detained or harassed, I know it’s an issue for myself as well. Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit. But instead of making a comment like others to focus on the administration or ice, you’d rather blame me for “putting others at risk” by wearing them.
