Meta Ray-Ban glasses now disable the camera if privacy light breaks
9to5Google • • general
Key Points:
- Meta's smart glasses, including Ray-Ban Meta glasses, feature a privacy light that indicates when the camera is active, and the glasses block the camera if the light is covered.
- To prevent misuse, a new update disables the camera entirely if the privacy LED is physically tampered with or destroyed, addressing attempts to bypass the indicator.
- Meta is enhancing detection of tampering and is actively removing ads and listings for services that modify the glasses to disable the LED, with potential legal action against offenders.
- This update is mandatory and is currently rolling out to all users, positioning Meta as a leader in privacy safeguards for smart glasses.
