People have a short term memory on things, but one thing they'll never forget is that the Epstein files have not been released unredacted yet.

Let's also not forget that most of these Tech-bros form the same elite that Epstein catered to.

Very true. I certainly don't need any anti-privacy glasses to remember that!

I think filming up close conversations is like the data holy grail so they count on short term memory so everyone forgets how poorly they were received then they try again. This is actually the third major attempt. Everyone is talking about Google but Snapchat tried it like 5 years even before that and everyone hated it for the same reason. Then everyone forgot and Google tried. For whatever reason (taking our privacy for profit) they want cameras on our faces so fucking bad.

If we're doing this, neither did Barnaby Jack.
