Meta addresses ‘pervert glasses’ reputation with a privacy fix and a new marketing campaign

TL;DR

  • Meta is updating its AI smart glasses to stop recordings if the LED indicator light is covered.
  • The previous loophole allowed users to cover the LED after starting a recording to avoid detection.
  • The capture LED blinks to alert others when photos or videos are being taken.
  • Meta is launching a campaign to spread awareness about the capture LED's function.
  • Smart glasses have faced privacy and harassment concerns, including reports of recording without consent and a potential facial recognition feature.
