The cost of that experience/juice was their privacy. Value isn't free.

If you take on a new Facebook experience by using their camera glasses, that will also have a privacy cost that this time will include my (and everyone else in-frame's) privacy.

This isn't court. The evidence, such as it is, is all of the smoke which commonly motivates people to look for fire. The strongest and most comprehensive that I've seen is the argument that if Trump was not implicated in the Epstein files, he would be publishing them in free book form himself and forcing every media outlet to advertise it.
