A $60 modification allows Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses to record covertly by disabling the indicator light. This raises privacy concerns for unsuspecting individuals. The modification, reportedly sold by a hobbyist, makes it difficult to detect when the glasses are recording. Meta states tampering with the indicator light violates their terms of service. Meta previously enhanced the indicator light and implemented tamper detection for privacy. Stickers to cover the light are also available for purchase online.
