They’re watching you while they sleep. In case concerns over Meta glasses’ privacy-violating potential weren’t keeping people up at night. Customers are complaining that the tech titan’s state-of-the-art smart glasses are listening to them even while the device is set to sleep mode.

Nightclubs and country governments alike have been banning the alleged spy-glasses over concerns that owners were using the tech to surveil people against their consent. “I think the biggest problem with the glasses is that they’re very covert,” underground Brooklyn party promoter James, who has instituted such a policy, previously told The Post. “They’re like pervert glasses, [especially] if you don’t want to be observed and recorded when you’re partying.” [snip] The AI authority, who teaches computer science at the University of Louisville, said that companies like Meta need to install tamper-resistant recording lights, automatic face blurring and “meaningful penalties for abuse” if they really want to deter digital looky-loos.
