Meta is cracking down on covert recording with its Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, even as it reportedly tests a prototype which may raise even more privacy concerns.

In a blog post this week, Meta said it is updating the second-generation smart glasses so the camera will shut off if the device detects the LED that lights up during recording has been tampered with or destroyed. The glasses already disable the camera when the LED is covered.
