Explained in plain English
Why the privacy fuss?
The main concern is about people being filmed without their knowledge or consent, which feels like an invasion of privacy. Even though Meta's glasses have a light to show when they're recording, it's easy for others not to notice it. This makes venues worried about protecting their customers and staff from unwanted filming, leading to the bans mentioned in the story.
