These anti-facial recognition glasses technically work, but won’t save you from our surveillance dystopia.

I like the idea, but don’t just buy these assuming you’re good to go, and then walk around with a normie iPhone or Android device that phones home constantly with your precise location and device ID, SIM information etc.

There is always at least some error rate and deniability in probabilistic matching by something like facial recognition. There is a lot less deniability of your specific device ID, tied to your real identity (thanks to KYC laws), being in X location at Y time.
