Don’t let Google Glass users breake your fundamental rights! Don’t let Glass users Spy on you!
Google Glass will impact societal behavior from the moment they arrive. As soon as you see them, you’re aware that you might be filmed.
Every smartphone can record you and take pictures. But you know when this is happening. It isn’t a constant feeling that everyone around you is filming you from every angle. You see them when they do it.
Google Glass are different. More than just photos and filming, what happens to this data?
Let’s say that I’m standing behind the counter at a business establishment — bank, fast-food restaurant, airline check-in counter, whatever.
My Google Glass might display the social security number, the general rap sheet, social media appearances, and so on, of the person in front of me.
Can you imagine the bar scene when people start wearing Google Glass? Within a second or two, you will have all available information about the person in front of you.
Public places will have to come up with new policies. Hotels, airports, restaurants, gyms and schools will want some say in whether you are allowed to wear these Google Glasses on their premises. You can just hear the panic buttons after the first pictures from people cheating in school or filming in the locker room are released on YouTube.
Other dimensions immediately appear. What if future versions of Google Glass are very difficult to detect in terms of looking different from regular glasses?
What happens when you walk into an establishment today wielding a video camera in the faces of the staff? In a restaurant, a bank lobby, or a gym? You will be asked to turn that thing off, and if you don’t obey quickly, you will be escorted from the premise.
A few short months after their introduction, Google Glass could already be so widespread that you will be on camera once you stick your nose out your front door.
Google Glass wears are human drones sent into the world to collect video and audio information that is reported back to the mothership.
Google Glasses may cause societal chaos, but they will be great for Google’s finances.
In Europe everyone has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her.
The Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 :
Under the Data Protection Directive, collecting and processing the personal data of individuals is only
legitimate in one of the following circumstances laid down by Article 7 of the Directive:
Where the individual concerned, (the 'data subject'), has unambiguously given his or her consent, after being adequately informed.
We can’t accept this Cyborgs, we can’t accept that everyone break our fundamental rights for the simple profit of Google, we can’t accept the European Union give a “OK Glass go and film everyone”.
We demand from the European Union to stop the Cyborgs and ban the sale of this products in Europe!
We demand from the European Union to not let Google Spy on us!
Sign and share this petition if you want not be filmed everywhere and get our voice strong to the European Commission and Parliament.
