Norway plans temporary ban on smart glasses in public places
Original: Norway plans temporary ban on smart glasses in some public places
Norway is preparing a temporary ban on camera-enabled smart glasses, such as Meta's spectacles, in certain public places over concerns about covert recording. Similar restrictions already exist in the UK and US. The proposal reflects growing unease across Europe about wearable devices that can film people without their knowledge or consent.
Why now: Privacy concerns over camera-equipped wearable technology are driving new regulatory moves in Europe.
