Surprised there’s no mention of what kind of privacy-protecting indicator these will sport, to inform those around you that they are being recorded.

In the interview Mark says you can turn them off physically, and there's also a light that turns on when you're taking a video (he mentions that this is already more that what smart phones do)

The article on The Verge shows off a white LED next to the camera when recording. It's subtle, and I wonder how visible it'll be in bright sunlight

Apparently, taping over the recording indicator is against the ToS

Indeed:

>You may not tamper with the Glasses, or otherwise obscure or modify any of the features on the Glasses that signal to others that the Glasses are recording (including the external-facing LED light).

“Zoom” calls involving parties living in locations where one must be notified and agree to be recorded…

You'd be surprised to learn that when you're in public you're constantly being recorded.

Surveillance Camera Man was an interesting YT channel that explored the distinction between a citizen recording vs. commercial/government enterprises. https://www.bitchute.com/channel/rRjFUkbdhhQd/

Okay! We all GET that! Doesn't mean we can't hate the idea of people recording us onto FB.
