The next model of Meta's smart AI glasses will [reportedly](https://9to5google.com/2026/07/09/meta-smart-glasses-privacy-light-always-on/) activate the onboard camera for AI features without notifying anyone via the camera indicator LED.

Looks like there is a typo here where “with” should be “without”.

> However, if the camera on Meta’s glasses can be enabled with the light turning on, it means an attackers could possibly find a way to record without the light turning on as well.

Otherwise, I’m surprised it took Meta this long to enable recording without an indicator light if I am being perfectly honest.

Good catch, fixed.
