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 has introduced a first-of-its-kind hardware trust measure in its second-generation AI glasses: the camera is disabled if the capture LED is blocked or tampered with. This update directly tackles the trust deficit that has held back AI wearable adoption.
