Meta said it is strengthening privacy protections in its Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses after reports that users could tamper with the recording indicator. The company updated the second-generation devices so the camera will shut off if the system detects that the LED warning light has been disabled or destroyed. Meta also said it is removing marketplace listings that offer ways to bypass the LED and may pursue bans or legal action against repeat offenders. The move comes amid growing scrutiny from lawsuits alleging that smart glasses recordings were accessed by third parties for model training, raising new governance questions for institutions adopting wearable AI.
