Original caption

Meta has blocked cameras on thousands of its AI smart glasses after users were caught tampering with the tiny LED light, which turns on to show when they’re recording. Users who drilled out or destroyed the recording light will no longer be able to use the camera. The crackdown comes after concerns that some people were using the glasses to secretly record others. #Meta #SmartGlasses #TechNews #AI #Technology
