The British government is considering restricting the use of smart glasses and even their sale, due to concerns over privacy violations and recording people without their consent. This was reported in The Guardian. The smart glasses, which look like ordinary glasses, allow users to record videos while talking or walking down the street without arousing suspicion. The issue reached the British Parliament following reports of women who discovered they were filmed without their knowledge, and videos of them went viral. Member of Parliament Anna Sabine, who initiated the discussion, warned that this technology raises serious questions about privacy and consent to filming in public spaces. Minister Satbir Kaur confirmed that the government is examining measures, including restrictions on use in certain places and on sale to certain populations. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education and the National Health Service are examining the use of the devices in educational and health institutions.
