Electronic Frontiers Australia has called for an immediate ban on Meta Ray-Ban and Kmart smart glasses in Australia, arguing the products create risks of covert recording and stalking. At the centre of its case is the claim that smart glasses remove the visible social signal that comes with using a phone camera. John Pane, Chair, Electronic Frontiers Australia, rejected comparisons between smart glasses and phones. "Smart glasses intentionally strip away that social notice and behavioural marker," he said. Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses have already become a focal point in international debates over privacy, consent and public recording.
