Smartglasses Face Growing Backlash Over Privacy Concerns

Courts in England and Wales have banned Meta smart glasses, joining a growing list of venues including restaurants, theatres, and pubs that have prohibited the devices. The court service stated that anyone attempting to enter buildings with the glasses will have them confiscated and returned upon leaving. This follows a similar ban in New York courts last month, reflecting mounting concerns over the glasses' ability to record video discreetly, which critics describe as 'spyware'.
