Several European countries — including France, Germany, and the Netherlands — are considering banning Meta’s smart glasses as regulators examine whether the devices comply with privacy laws. Meta’s smart glasses, which include built-in cameras, are facing increasing scrutiny from lawmakers, regulators, and privacy advocates across Europe. According to news outlet Euractiv, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), which brings together data protection authorities from across Europe, is expected to issue a report on smart glasses by the end of summer. However, some European countries say action is needed sooner and are pursuing their own approaches to limiting the use of smart glasses. France has similarly raised concerns about the potential privacy impact of smart glasses.
