Lawmakers are once again turning up the legal heat on smart glasses. Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Ciresi (D-Montgomery) has introduced a bill that would require every pair of smart glasses “manufactured, sold, and used” in the state to have a “visual indicator” that tells others when they’re recording.

    ??? not sure how you got there

    No, the issue was “can some hacker take control of my WebCam without me knowing? “

    Not if it’s wired with a notification light in the way, I have suggested.

    If you wanna hack your own device, whatever dude

      No, not sure how you got there. The law being proposed here is meant to protect unsuspecting people from being recorded without their knowledge by creeps wearing these glasses. The hacking, nail polish and tape suggestions are all to demonstrate that the law wouldn’t actually stop those creeps because they have methods to suppress the LED, even if it’s hardwired.
