DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever

Meta's AI-infused smart sunglasses have ignited a debate about privacy, earning the ominous nickname "pervert glasses" due to potential misuse. Owners, fearing harassment, are reluctant to wear them publicly, highlighting a growing public backlash against AI-driven tech. In contrast, DuckDuckGo, a Google alternative committed to privacy, has introduced an innovative, non-electronic alternative – "Normal F***ing Sunglasses."

These glasses, created in partnership with Knockaround, boast no cameras, microphones, AI, batteries, or electronics at all, featuring a matte black frame and a glossy DuckDuckGo logo. Positioned at a more affordable $35, these sunglasses aim to distance themselves from Meta's pricier, controversial pervert glasses. Though the product has sparked satire, DuckDuckGo reports a "significant percentage of inventory sold," indicating a response to the demand for privacy.
