Meta's Glasses Will Turn Off the Camera If You Tamper With the Privacy Light

Meta is rolling out an update that will disable the camera on its smart glasses if the device detects that someone has tampered with or destroyed the privacy LED. "The update is meant to address modders who have taken actions such as physically drilling into the LED light," reports The Verge. "Meta has previously tried to discourage tampering with the LED light.

However, many modders have found various workarounds for that particular measure."
