Can you tell if someone is filming you with Meta glasses? – video

The Guardian · 6 hours ago

A Guardian Australia video discusses whether it's possible to tell when someone is filming or photographing you using Meta's smart glasses, amid growing public concern about the devices' covert recording capabilities. Presenter Rafqa Touma speaks with technology reporter Josh Taylor, lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman, and Lauren Perry, a responsible technology policy specialist at the Human Technology Institute, to unpack the privacy implications as the glasses become increasingly common.

The discussion forms part of wider coverage of privacy concerns linked to camera-equipped smart glasses in Australia, including reports of budget retailer Kmart selling out of a cheaper rival to Meta's device amid warnings of a "privacy nightmare". The conversation touches on how easy it is for bystanders to detect that they are being recorded, and what safeguards or regulations, if any, might be needed to address the issue.
