This is just another attempt to capture even more control over our attention - advertising everywhere. Of course Apple wants it

But think of the constant, total surveillance opportunity for Apple, and how this could help them win favor and contracts from the fascist US government!

Apple doesn’t do that though. That’s Google, Amazon, and Meta’s MO.

You're right. Tim Cook only gave Trump $1m for fun, right?

You’re being intentionally obtuse to make a political point. I don’t agree with corporations making large political donations, but stick to the actual topic. Name one military contract that Apple holds that involves tracking users. If Apple was about that, it wouldn’t need to wait for smart glasses to arrive, it already could try. But, it doesn’t. Why?

I’m not playing fanboy, I’m just not jumping to conclusions and making shit up to serve my political views. Your article is still just speculation. And, rather than being about mass surveillance, it’s about flying aircraft with VR headsets.

What do you think the airforce is tracking from up there dumdumb, stars?

🙄 not even worth responding to this. You’re grasping at straws.
