      A demand for removal and threat of being held in contempt seems like the appropriate response to bringing a camera in, no matter who you are.

      Jailtime for wearing glasses that can record videos in the courtroom?

      Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?

        The judge made it clear no cameras or recording equipment were allowed in the session and they brought wearable cameras that have facial recognition capabilities. That is the definition of contempt of court.

        But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.

        If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.

          Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not “liking” them. That’s what this is all about. That’s what all this is about. We simply don’t like people. No, it’s not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don’t like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they’re all really decent people inside, it’s us that’s the problem. /s

          Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as “rational” and “middle of the road” in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.

            Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?

              A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

                You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.

                It’s a courtroom, not a voting booth.

                No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.

                Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?

      It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.

    Zuckerberg was in court to testify as part of a trial over whether Meta and Alphabet-owned YouTube deliberately designed their social media platforms to encourage compulsive usage by young people.

    Ironically I think rather than them wearing them for nefarious reasons, they’ve just been encouraged to use them for so long, that they are actually addicted to them as well.

    Like, if you were forced to use your employers product at work for 10-12 hrs a day and try to come up with way to monetize it in your off hours, you may start to rely on it eventually.

    Our brains are wired to always take the easiest path, that’s actually the reason for technological advancement in the first place.

    They probably just don’t even realize they’re wearing them, it’s just a (mostly useless and completely impractical) part of their bodies now.
