Meta Glasses' hearing-aid angle could shield them from bans via the ADA

Once framed as assistive devices, banning them could run afoul of the ADA, giving users a strong compliance argument against no-glasses policies. Commenters add that boomers reaching their 80s point to a huge market for AI hearing wearables over the next decade — a savvy, underappreciated move by Zuck in the smart glasses race.
