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.

Buddy, have you been on Aliexpress recently? It's trivial to wire tiny cameras all over your body if you really wanted.

Not that it matters, I can point an 8K cinema camera at you in public, and you don't legally get a say.

    This isn't the case everywhere. Some places have laws with likeness rights if you try to use the footage in commercial productions.

    Two-party consent states also attach legal consequences to secret voice recordings.

    This is strictly legally speaking. People can and do violate the law.
