Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have earned the nickname "pervert glasses" — and a journalist's firsthand account reveals exactly why.

Yeah, is there possibly a way to make it obvious that it is able to be recorded? I'd imagine at some point in the future it'll be the norm/expected, much like bluetooth headsets were loathed by many back when they first came out and it was hard to tell if someone was talking to you or on a bluetooth call lol (also it usually being corpo asshole types lol).
