Meta forced to launch smart glasses update after non-consensual filming backlash

• Meta has launched a software update alongside a marketing campaign to address widespread privacy backlash surrounding its smart glasses.
• The eyewear has faced severe criticism and earned the nickname “pervert glasses” for enabling non-consensual filming and intrusive behavior.
• The latest software update automatically stops the camera from recording if the external capture LED light is covered during use.
• The fix follows an earlier update that aimed to prevent camera activation when the LED is physically tampered with before recording.
• Meta's accompanying marketing campaign highlights how the LED light alerts people nearby whenever the glasses are actively capturing video or photos.
