Cinemas Stop Meta Camera Glasses
Cinemas in Britain do not want smart glasses. The glasses have a small camera. Meta makes them. Cinemas are afraid people will film a movie.
Other places also say no. Restaurants, pubs and theatres have rules about the glasses. In America, a man filmed a woman. She did not know. Friends sent her the video.
Meta says the glasses are safe. A light comes on when they film. But a news company covered the light. The glasses did not stop filming.
