Meta Tightens AI Glasses to Prevent Concealed Recording

Meta has announced a software update for its AI glasses that will stop the camera if the built‑in recording LED is covered while the device is in use. The fix addresses a loophole that let users begin recording, then hide the LED with a sticker, allowing covert capture. Previously, Meta had disabled recording when a sticker was applied before the recording started, but users reversed the steps to bypass the warning. The new update, slated for rollout soon, ensures the capture LED remains a reliable indicator for bystanders. The change follows backlash over the glasses’ non‑consensual recordings that have circulated online.
