One of my favorite details was near the end of the article, where Meta plays dumb when asked about this issue, and feigning an inability to find the abusers of the glasses that 404 Media had identified:
“After reaching out to Meta for comment, the company asked me for examples of the videos, indicating that it wasn’t able to find them itself. Meta then removed the account I flagged, as well as other accounts by the same creator, who apparently set up multiple accounts in preparation for moderation.”
Just top-notch scumbaggery here, from meta and from these individuals going around in public wearing them.
I’ll try and ask him about it.
I’ll be seeing him this weekend so I’ll try and lowkey ask him. It’s a somewhat recent diagnosis but I also know he broke his glasses swimming at the beach this past summer and only recently replaced them.
He doesn’t lose vision clarity per se, it’s more that his FOV in certain sections becomes much more limited before fuzzing out altogether.
