Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned the nickname “pervert glasses” — and a journalist’s firsthand account reveals exactly why. Wearing them didn’t just feel creepy; it made her start thinking like one. I break down the real surveillance threat these glasses pose, Meta’s data exploitation playbook, and what we can actually do about it.
The camera is pretty easy to miss, especially if you don’t know what to look for. So yes, it is out in the open, but hidden in plain sight is still hidden.
Yeah, is there possibly a way to make it obvious that it is able to be recorded? I’d imagine at some point in the future it’ll be the norm/expected, much like bluetooth headsets were loathed by many back when they first came out and it was hard to tell if someone was talking to you or on a bluetooth call lol (also it usually being corpo asshole types lol).
