Why the LED exists
Camera glasses ship with a recording indicator light precisely so bystanders can tell. Regulators and the glasses' own policies forbid disabling or covering it. The LED is the social contract: it converts covert recording into visible recording.
Two privacy layers
There's the wearer's privacy (their footage, where it's stored) and the bystander's privacy (people filmed without asking). Most laws focus on wearers; bystander protection relies on norms, the LED, and consent. Toggle safeguards to see awareness rise.
Surveilling the surveillers?
The tweet suggests tracking every wearer. But mass-tracking people to punish them recreates the exact harm it objects to — ubiquitous non-consensual surveillance. Privacy is a principle, not a weapon; it protects the people you dislike too.
What you can actually do
Ask if you're being recorded; look for the LED; know local two-party consent laws (some regions require everyone's consent to record audio). Device makers can help with clearer signals, on-device processing, and easy opt-out — not more tracking.
