A growing crisis around digital consent has emerged with the rise of artificial intelligence and wearable devices that can record video without users being aware, according to the London-based magazine Dazed. The issue centers on privacy, as these technologies are often unavoidable in daily life. Concerns have been raised about the misuse of connected devices, particularly Meta's smart glasses, which have faced significant criticism. Reports indicate that some users have secretly filmed women using these glasses, sparking fear among owners who worry about being targeted or publicly shamed if they use the glasses in public, as noted by the American media outlet Futurism. International media have highlighted that an increasing number of women are being approached by men using connected glasses to secretly film them. These videos are often shared on social media without the subjects' consent, and they frequently capture the perspective of the person recording. Such content has gained thousands, or even millions, of views online, and once posted, they often attract misogynistic comments, as reported by CNN in February. To avoid being exposed, some users have attempted to disable or hide the "privacy indicator," a small light that signals when the glasses are recording. This feature is designed to respect others' privacy, but some users have resorted to covering it with adhesive tape or even drilling over it, according to The Verge. Meta has attempted to discourage users from tampering with the recording light, and on the second generation of its glasses, blocking the indicator with tape or similar methods triggers a notification asking the user to clear the light. However, some users have found ways to bypass this measure, as reported by The Verge. In response, Meta plans a new software update that will disable the camera if the privacy indicator is tampered with or destroyed. This update aims to prevent unauthorized recording and protect users' privacy. In reaction to the growing concerns, some public institutions have already banned the use of connected glasses. For example, courts in Philadelphia and New York, as well as certain cruise companies, have prohibited their use. It remains unclear whether companies like Meta will self-regulate or if governments will need to step in to ensure privacy protections. For now, efforts to address the issue are coming from both private and public sectors. As for the public, it remains to be seen how long people will continue to support a device that has raised serious ethical and privacy concerns.
