“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF's investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck's pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick's sake.

I said it joking once but we'll get there at this rate: we need to develop a portable EMP emitter. Carry your devices in a faraday bag and whenever you see someone with suspicious glasses, just shot the EMP and fuck the glasshole and their privacy nightmarish glasses.

This has the character of Muslim left standing on train station, for they were late for the train. Extra information that is not relevant for the case is oft distraction and at times discrimination.

Also being filmed as a passerby in a public space is usually not something you can protect yourself from. Only when you, in particular, are being filmed stuff gets gross. I am very well aware that this is what happened. But you should use specific language in headlines to paint an accurate image of reality.
