Meta Will Now Brick Your Smart Glasses Camera If You Mess With the Indicator Meta's smart glasses are genuinely a great and useful product, but since their launch, there have been a lot of privacy concerns surrounding them, especially when it comes to the built-in camera. Sure, there's a glowing LED indicator that's supposed to let people know when the glasses are recording. And if you try to cover that light, the camera won't work, and you'll be shown a prompt telling you to uncover it before recording can continue. However, as expected, creepy users found a way to bypass it by drilling holes. As a matter of fact, if you've spent enough time browsing Facebook Marketplace -- Meta's own platform, by the way -- you've probably come across listings advertising services that bypass the privacy light. https://thephrasemaker.com/2026/07/08/meta-will-now-brick-your-smart-glasses-camera-if-you-mess-with-the-indicator/
