Meta announces anti-tamper update
Meta reveals that second-generation glasses will disable the camera if the LED is sensed to be blocked or destroyed, and that the company is removing related ads from its platforms.
LED removal services exposed
Tech journalist Joanna Stern reports on her YouTube channel New Things that Meta AI glass owners are paying up to $100 for physical LED removal, advertised on Facebook Marketplace.
Meta is implementing a firmware update that disables recording on its second-gen AI glasses if the capture LED is tampered with, after a black market offered $100 LED removal services. The move introduces a hardware-enforced privacy control in a consumer wearable.
