Google Glass Causing Congressional Privacy Concerns
Eight members of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus are asking Google about how its Glass technology would impact the privacy of the “average American.” Google Glass allows users to connect to the Internet as well as taking pictures and videos. Some Congressmen don’t want Google Glass wearers to have the ability to record other people without them knowing.■Class discussion: What, if any, restrictions should be place on Google Glass wearers recording other people? What about cameras on cellphones, streets, buildings, police cars or drone aircraft? In some places it is illegal to record encounters with police but legal for officers to record citizens. Is that fair? Video recordings have been used to both convict criminals and exonerate suspects. Do you feel safer with all the cameras or do you fear the loss of privacy?
