The odds of this being effective are very, very low. Low enough that I'll still avoid being near anyone wearing a pair of spy glasses regardless of whether or not an LED is glowing.

Seems like the next evolution of a cat-and-mouse game between Meta and the modders. How long before the new tamper protection is defeated?

The ultimate solution is a custom LED design with an embedded auth chip, along with a custom photodiode also with an auth chip.

The ultimate solution is banning these pedo-oriented spy products.

I have yet to understand how are these glasses useful to any normal people other than creeps? If you want to record simply use phone.

“In addition to disabling the camera on devices when tampering is detected, we work across Meta to remove ads, posts, and Marketplace listings that advertise these kinds of tampering services and we will take action, up to banning accounts that do this.”

Disable our glasses LED.. straight to jail! Tamper with elections and influence votes across a country… meh.

Solved! Now Meta is a pro-privacy company. /s

It is 10 years too late to trust Meta on anything.
