Meta pushed an update to its AI glasses so recording stops if the LED light is covered, closing a bypass that let users record after covering the light. The move comes as EU privacy regulators probe the device and Germany considers a ban, while a US class-action accuses Meta of misleading privacy claims; Meta meanwhile strains to emphasize privacy in its marketing.
