I am distraught to learn that apparently smart glasses are not banned in the EU. Until now I assumed without checking that they obviously would be.

Interestingly in most of the EU, there's is no expectation of privacy in public and you are free to record people without their concent.

Releasing or using those recordings is a completely different thing though.

You're free to record a crowd of people in public. Once you're pointing the camera at a person specifically, that's a whole different issue.
