My objection is that there is no universe in which Meta can be trusted with direct access to your raw gaze tracking data.

The only thing I can imagine that would be more invasive would require a brain implant.

My understanding is that this is a key tenant of visionOS’s design, where apps don’t get access to gaze data (I think unless they’re taking over the full screen?)
