00:00Did you know that anyone can now record you without you even noticing?
00:04It's easy with smart glasses.
00:05A recent incident in India has shown exactly why that is so concerning.
00:09At a transgender rights demonstration in Delhi,
00:12someone used Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to record attendees without them realizing it.
00:16The video went viral.
00:18It mocked participants and turned what was meant to be a safe space into viral content.
00:23But it's not an isolated case.
00:24Across social media, creators are using smart glasses to film strangers in public
00:29without them knowing or giving their consent.
00:31So-called manfluencers secretly film women for viral content,
00:35exposing them to millions of viewers and often to harassment and abuse online.
00:39Meta smart glasses do have a recording light,
00:41but it's just a small LED easy to overlook.
00:44If people don't even know they are being recorded,
00:46how can they give meaningful consent?
00:48In India, there are still no clear laws protecting people from misuse of wearable cameras.
00:53And as smart glasses become more common,
00:55incidents like these are only expected to increase.
00:58Until privacy, consent and transparency become non-negotiable,
01:02vulnerable communities will always be most at risk.
