Facebook’s new smart glasses are coming under fire from privacy advocates.
Ireland's data privacy regulator recently asked Facebook to prove that an LED indicator light on the social media giant's newly launched smart glasses is “an effective means” to let people know they are being filmed or photographed. The glasses contain cameras that are intended to allow users to document their daily lives.
“Just the thought of someone with these glasses in a public place gives me the creeps,” privacy expert Pankaj Srivastava told Lifewire in an email interview.
