One of the features outlined in the article for this post was for the glasses to remember things that other people said. How would such other people who don't want to be recorded for these purposes opt out?
for example, can FB provide a list of recording locations and times, so I can request my image/audio removed?
How good is facebook's anonymisation system? what % of faces can be removed (on average)
Has every single piece of footage captured with Aria been anonymised?
"Participants will only record in either Facebook offices (once they reopen), wearers’ private homes (with consent from all members of the household), or public spaces, and won’t record in private venues without written consent from such places. Before any information gathered in a public place is made available to our researchers, it will be automatically scrubbed to blur faces and vehicle license plates."
So we anonymize all the content collected in public. I don't have the stats for the face blurring algorithm, and while you can ask for your data to be removed, we don't provide locations/times. These are good suggestions though.
I see some contradiction here.
You don't know "the stats for the face blurring algorithm" but you're saying you "anonymize all the content collected"?
If the stats don't say it's 100% (which is impossible afaik if done by machines) you obviously don't anonymize upfront all the content collected.
1. You don't think upfront about the consequences your products have for people's privacy.
2. You don't care about the consequences your products have for people's privacy, and leave the particular details for the lawyers of how such products could still be distributed legally.
Which of this explanations should we prefer?

So just to be sure: Is this feature one of the goals of this research, yes or no?
From the same post:

To make the obvious very explicit: The previous question (which you just praised as a "good question") is about this feature. Wasn't this clear to you until now? I'm wondering. This is a simple conversation thread not hard to follow.
