Since the advent of Google Glass, it has been questioned from many aspects. Recently, the privacy protection commissioners of the governments of Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel and Switzerland jointly sent a letter to Google CEO Larry Page, asking Google to provide more detailed information about Google Glass to eliminate countries on Google. Glasses may inflict concerns about the privacy of others.
In addition, someone has set up a network organization called "Stopthe Cyborgs" to monitor how Google handles the privacy issues caused by Google Glass. At present, there are already many places, such as bars, strip clubs, cinemas, casinos, etc., which are strictly forbidden to wear Google Glass. Even Google’s annual shareholder meeting, Google Glass is strictly monitored.
TechCrunch, the technology media, believes that Google Glass's camera is located in front of the device, it is inevitably a little uncomfortable, but there is no LED light next to the camera to show whether the camera is taking pictures and video, which is a big mistake for Google. Therefore, as long as Google has not added LED lights to show whether it is recording video, the misunderstanding of "invasion of privacy" will continue.
In addition, former US Department of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff compared Google Glass to an unmanned reconnaissance plane: "Imagine that millions of Americans carry a drone every day. Walking around, and this device can capture everything recorded around them in the form of video and audio. What would it be like?"
TechCrunch said that comments like Michael Chel have shaken people's concerns about the privacy of Google Glass, all of which stems from people's misunderstanding of Google's ability.
From the perspective of Google Glass's features, this device can't actually record everything around you. When the video function is activated, only 10 seconds of video can be recorded by default. If you want to use video to record everything around you, the battery will quickly drain.
So, in essence, Google Glass is just a wearable web browser, and the more important thing is to view news, email, social network messages, and other push information instead of sharing your own photos and videos.
Google said in a statement: "Many people are interested in the possibility of face recognition on Google Glass, and they also expressed concern. As we have been insisting on in the past few years, we have not established a strong Prior to the privacy protection mechanism, we did not add facial recognition to our products. For this reason, we will not approve any facial recognition applications related to Google Glass for the time being."
