    Are you filming? - Can't you see the light?

    Case closed. People that are very familiar with these glasses need to ask. These devices need to get banned.

      Sorry but have you looked at AliExpress lately? You think glasses with hidden video cameras are something we have the ability to ban?

      Meta has made the concept popular, but hardware feasibility already tipped the scales, these cameras are going to be ubiquitous and if not in glasses then in even more hidden formats like buttons and pinhole wearables.

        So, make it a punishable offence? Maybe get a slap on the wrist the first time and go to jail the second time. That will get people thinking if it's worth it. And it will definitely stop the flood of weirdos that randomly film people to put them on their instatok.

          Pretty sure filming people without their consent is already illegal?
