Norway plans temporary ban on smart glasses in some public places

Camera-enabled Meta spectacles are already restricted in UK and US because of fears about covert recording

Norway is planning a temporary ban on smart glasses in some public places, amid rising global concern at the spread of the AI-enabled recording devices.

The Oslo government is planning a bill to prevent the use of the camera-enabled spectacles in parks, beaches, museums, shopping centres, schools, daycare centres, healthcare facilities, gyms and public events, although private use would still be allowed.
