Meta's Smart Glasses Face Privacy Crackdown in Germany | Europe News

from Europe News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now

Meta’s smart glasses are under fire in Germany after HateAid files a criminal complaint alleging they violate privacy laws by enabling covert recording. The non-profit argues the devices allow unauthorized filming, even intimate moments, and calls for a sales ban. While Meta defends the product, citing regulatory approval and built-in privacy features like an LED indicator, European regulators are now investigating. HateAid demands clear identification and recording restrictions in public spaces, setting the stage for a major debate on wearable tech and digital privacy.
