Yes or No to Smart Glasses?

⊲ UC Today ⊳ Largest UK pub chain Wetherspoon has clarified that it has not banned Meta smart glasses from its pubs, despite media reports suggesting otherwise. A spokesperson said the chain has no specific smart glasses policy, treating camera equipped wearables the same as mobile phones under its existing rules against covert recording without consent. Other venues, including UK Comic Con organiser Monopoly Events and DEF CON, have introduced explicit bans. Critics argue the recording indicator LED offers limited notice in busy or dim settings, fuelling wider calls for regulation rather than venue by venue policymaking.
⊲ Applying phone era consent rules to Meta’s glasses assumes staff can reliably tell when recording is actually happening. ⊳
