THat's my thought, too. Anyone who wants to hide a camera on their person can do so easily. A small hole in a shirt, coat, or hat can conceal a lens and cameras can be tiny. Yet nobody's rushing out to pass laws against "concealable cameras" in general.

You also have to see how easy these will be to use, with a dedicated app and all, compared to hiding a camera. In practice, if I spot a hidden cam on someone interacting with me in public, I’d call them out, but socially it would e super awkward to ask someone to put their glasses away. But I agree the FB association might be making people extra uncomfortable (can’t blame them!)

What if you met someone carrying their phone in their breast pocket, with the camera facing outward? Would you ask to see their phone to see if they were recording you?
