DEF CON bans Meta-style 'pervert glasses'

“Be sure to pack non-violating eyewear if you need them.”

DEF CON banned camera glasses outright, with no carve-out for prescription lenses. UK comic conventions did the same after their own talent said the things were a privacy violation, and a Scottish ferry operator killed bridge tours over one incident. Meta sold the world a face-mounted camera and told everyone the tiny LED made it fine. Every venue that has to deal with the result disagrees.
