Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.

The problem I see with this is that this bill pretty much requires proprietary software to run on those glasses (which right now is the case anyways), which in turn means everything else gets shittier. Making laws like this is stupid, they should make a law that bans those glasses if people do not want to be secretly recorded.
