I see why places moving towards a full on ban of the Pervert Glasses.
A local bar has banned them already with a sign that basically says "this ban is as much to prevent you from getting punched as anything else".
In theory they shouldn't be a problem because I think there's a little LED that lights up when the camera is on, but in practice people don't know that so assume the worst.
Which can be easily covered and no, i don't believe FB's claim that this disables the camera.
Search turning off the light meta glasses and find why people should be arrested for these glasses.
Ive only seen a few videos where the tech refused to turn off the light.
Meta are allegedly releasing an update for their glasses that prevent recording altogether if the glasses sense that the light has been tampered with.
