A German human rights organization wants to obtain a court injunction against the sale of smart glasses from technology group Meta. This concerns the 'Wayfarer Gen 2' type of glasses. According to the NGO, these can film and record while being barely distinguishable from ordinary glasses or sunglasses. Concern is also growing in other European countries.

The organization HateAid is legally opposed to the sale of data glasses, as they could serve as covert spy cameras.
The human rights organization Hateaid has taken legal steps to stop the sale of data glasses in Germany.
HateAid filed a complaint in Germany against Meta, EssilorLuxottica and several resellers, arguing that the Ray-Ban Meta are illegal surveillance devices. This legal action, based on a law prohibiting hidden cameras, could create a major precedent for the protection of privacy in Europe and redefine the legality of these technologies.
Smart glasses look like normal glasses, but you can also secretly take photos and videos with them. The organization HateAid therefore calls for their distribution to be banned.
