Norway Considers Ban on Camera‑Enabled Wearable “Pervert Glasses"

Norway is evaluating a ban on camera‑enabled wearable headsets, citing privacy risks. The government has called for regulation of these devices, which can record video and audio without consent. Officials say the technology could facilitate non‑consensual surveillance and data misuse. The proposal follows concerns over the proliferation of “pervert glasses” that can capture private moments. Norway’s move would be the first major regulatory action on this emerging class of devices in the region. The government will review the proposal in the coming weeks and may issue new guidelines for manufacturers and users.
