Published 1 day, 21 hours ago
Description
The federal government has written to the privacy commissioner with urgent concerns about the rise of affordable smart glasses equipped with high-definition cameras. Kmart's $89 camera glasses have sold out online, sparking privacy fears as they enable inconspicuous recording in public spaces. The Greens are pushing for a ban on wearable recording technology without prior consent and calling for import restrictions on smart glasses at the Australian border.
