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

Article says no.
Ma’am, this is the Internet. That’s the last place I would think of checking. If it ain’t in the headline, it didn’t happen.
Most of us can’t read the article.
We can read fine. The site linked-to by OP is paywalled, and they didn’t do the minimum courtesy of copying and pasting the article contents into the Lemmy post.
Just google “bypass paywall”, there’s several sites that you can enter a URL and they’ll link you to common ways to bypass paywalls (usually by directing you to a site that archives news stories).

Archive.is is a good site to try first. It typically doesn’t get articles from major news sources for a few hours after publication, but most everything else is available pretty much as soon as it is published.
There’s so many of these paywall-lite sites now, it’s hard to read news without knowing how to bypass these paywalls.
Those sites don’t work. They’re locked behind cloudflare and ban access for hardened browsers.
Just fucking paste it. Or don’t post it.
Especially when the article is paywalled (or at least login-walled).
