    This feels like gorilla marketing to me. They knew the judge would tell them to take them off and it would be just enough of a sensational story to make it to press. Now more people know that Meta has these glasses.

      Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.

      Meta’s glasses, retail for between $299 and $799, are equipped with a camera that can take photos and record video.

      CBS is definitely involved in this gorilla scheme

      I don’t know if it was intentional marketing but it does have that effect and was kinda pointless. I assume people have camera phones in the courtroom with them too but possessing a device that can record doesn’t mean you intend to do it and I doubt Meta has tampered with their glasses so if they were to do that it would be noticeable thanks to the recording LED…
