About this episode
Have camera glasses officially entered the mainstream? A Kmart dupe of the Meta glasses sold out across Australia this week, and they’ve been dubbed "pervert glasses" because they allow wearers to discreetly record videos and take photos.
So, will we see more instances of people being unknowingly recorded in public? And if we know there's significant potential for misuse of this tech, who's responsible? The company selling or the consumer recording?
In this week's deep dive, hear from an expert about the harms of this surveillance tech and whether our privacy laws need to step up.
Guests:
- Lizzie O'Shea, lawyer and co-founder, Digital Rights Watch
