Cuando el senador mexicano Ricardo Anaya apareció en el Senado con unas gafas inteligentes Ray-Ban Meta, la tecnología de consumo cotidiana se convirtió, en cuestión de horas, en supuesta evidencia de espionaje para la CIA. El incidente revela algo más profundo que una confusión tecnológica: en entornos políticos polarizados, los objetos no se juzgan por lo que son, sino por quién los porta y qué historia se desea contar sobre esa persona. La desconfianza, una vez arraigada, no necesita pruebas; le basta con un pretexto.
