Meta is updating its AI glasses after users found a way to keep recording while covering the indicator light; the camera now stops if the light is blocked.
Meta is updating its AI smart glasses after users discovered they could keep the camera recording while physically covering the LED indicator light meant to signal recording to bystanders. Under the fix, the camera stops functioning entirely if the light becomes covered during use, closing the specific bypass, though broader nonconsensual-recording concerns around always-available cameras remain.
