META GLASSES BANNED FROM UK COURTS

The court service will seize Meta glasses from anyone attempting to enter judicial buildings, returning them upon exit. The ban joins restrictions already imposed by restaurants, theatres, and pubs across the UK and US. Meta's glasses, which enable covert video recording, have faced mounting criticism dubbed as "spyware" concerns. The New York court system announced its ban last month, citing security and privacy risks. The devices, which look like standard eyeglasses, can record video without obvious indicators to those nearby. This capability has raised privacy concerns in sensitive environments like courtrooms, where confidentiality and security protocols are paramount. The UK court ban represents an escalating backlash against the technology. Other venues have similarly restricted access, citing worries over unauthorized recording and privacy violations. Meta has not yet commented on the UK court service's decision.
