Eh, ok. And how will this work exactly?

The glasses will record everyone, send their faces to a third party or government server...

(to check 'blur or not, of course, of course, nothing else. And then we'll delete them again - pinky promise!)

Ah yes. For privacy.

My degoogled phone's open source camera app (with no internet access) detects faces instantly and locally

Yes, detecting whether something is a face wouldn't be a problem. You can just just use the FaceDetect api on android.

Thought then after you detect a face, you still have to decide - is this a face to blur? If you have some sort of database for that, you'll still have to some face identifier there to check if it's whitelisted or not

No. Blur every face.

The only issue I see is that people who wear tech to avoid facial recognition will be the only heads that aren't blurred.

This could be done on the device, for example the Android app ObscuraCam has automatic face detection.

It can, but that would ruin Facebook's bottom line
