It is my honest opinion that Google has gone too far with these Glasses. It appears that Privacy means nothing to them.
Google Glass: Expect widespread usage bans over privacy concerns | ZDNetA bar in Seattle has already generated buzz in tech communities with a preemptive strike against Google Glass. The proprietor doesn't want patrons to have to worry that someone with Google Glasses might be snapping photos. His patrons come in for privacy and he wants to keep it that way.
That may have been nothing more than a publicity stunt but it portends a greater problem for Google Glass. When the general public becomes aware of Google Glass and exactly what it does, expect to see a lot of reactions similar to that of the Seattle bar owner.
Google Glass already facing driving ban as West Virginia preps law | ZDNetLawmakers in the US have proposed a bill outlawing operating a vehicle with head-mounted displays like Google Glass, even before the networked specs are commercially available.
West Virginia Legislature Republican Gary G Howell last week proposed a bill that would prohibit "using a wearable computer with head mounted display", preemptively bringing Google's technology in line with existing state bans on driving while texting or using a phone without a handsfree kit.
Howell told ZDNet's sister site CNET that he believes the government has a duty make sure citizens don't injure or kill someone else when they cross the road because they're reading a message.

Social networking sites, are just as bad or used to be, any photo, post, video or comment uploaded is owned by that company and therefore can be sold to third-parties, however, I'm not entirely sure if this is still the case.
Employers are starting to view people's profiles when they apply for positions, what happened to Equal Opportunities for all employees?
Nobody is being forced to use Google Glass. If someone does decide to, I'm sure they will be made aware of the consequences if they don't already know. Some people don't mind having all aspects of their lives put out there........although I am not one of those people.
