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 smart glasses in some public places, according to a Guardian report. The move targets camera-enabled spectacles such as Meta's Ray-Ban glasses, which can be used for covert recording. Similar restrictions already exist in the UK and US, and the Norwegian proposal is drawing attention to wider privacy concerns over wearable cameras.
Why now: Privacy fears over camera-equipped smart glasses like Meta's are growing, and Norway's proposed ban signals regulators may act quickly.
