“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF's investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

Sometimes I have a hard time deciding who I despise more, parasite Mark Zuckerberg or its witless hosts who keep using its products—yes, Zuck's pronoun is it. Ban Ray-Ban, for frick's sake.

    Doesn't matter. It's the act of recording that's setting people off, not the publishing.

    I don't know what the law is in Belgium but I bet it's the act of recording without consent that's illegal. Many European nations have laws like that and it seems short-sighted and wrong. It enables corruption.
