A UK parliament petition calling for an immediate ban on smart glasses with recording capability exists and is gaining traction. The petition argues the government should use existing laws like RIPA and GDPR to restrict glasses with camera functionality while drafting new legislation. The underlying concern — privacy risks from wearable cameras in public spaces — is legitimate, though the feasibility of an outright ban on consumer smart glasses (which Meta, Ray-Ban, and others are actively selling) would face significant practical and regulatory obstacles.
