if laws are passed on consent for recording in public, then wont that open doors for the people to deny flock cameras recording without public consent ?

They need to be banned. Everywhere. Dangerous in so many ways.

I would phrase the question as "How do you make technology that can see that can't be abused to become technology that will watch.
I suspect you can't.

It's going to be extra weird when people get cameras implanted.

10:50 let’s be honest, they don’t need to have a record function. Or a stream function. Or a photo function. Remove those and yeah, it could be a genuinely great tool.

I think I see an untapped market for all-day comfortable full face masks.

Lol the irony of people posting about perverts on TikTok where there are literal pedophiles grooming children on the platform everywhere you turn.
Why does this play out the same way every time? Haven't people caught on yet? If lots of people are focused on an 'issue', it's inevitably a distraction from the real issue.

As someone living in a city, I’d love glasses that applied more beautiful imagery over my surroundings, or live-tracked my bus and superimposed its location or a map in my field of view.
Instead we get dystopian spy glasses. Boo.

11:48 So how about we make a law, that only allows blind/deaf people to wear them and can proof they are allowed to wear them using a disability license?
