Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they're actually Meta's new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

Hidden cameras? They've got big ol fuckin cameras on them and apparently a red LED that lights up when in use lol. It'd be easier to secretly film someone by pretending you're texting on your phone. More ragebait.

I imagine it wouldn't take long until someone finds a way to disable that LED.

Doesn't work while covered, there's a sensor in the light
