Meta smart glasses can be used to dox anyone in seconds, study finds

Linking Meta smart glasses to a face search engine can ID strangers in a glance.

Terrible idea. I'm sure it can be done but hopefully will be outlawed.

Makes me think of the bumper sticker current awhile ago that said "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns." Making something illegal doesn't always prevent someone from doing it.
