Background: a dive bar in Seattle, Washington has preemptively banned the use of Google Glasses in its premises. Beatings have been (humorously) threatened, and unapologetically so:
“I’m a thought leader,” deadpanned Dave Meinert, the bar’s owner, in an interview on Seattle’s KIRO-FM. “First you have to understand the culture of the 5 Point, which is a sometimes seedy, maybe notorious place. People want to go there and be not known…and definitely don’t want to be secretly filmed or videotaped and immediately put on the Internet.”
