UK Venues Ban Meta Smart Glasses Over Privacy Concerns

Some places in the UK, like restaurants, pubs and theatres, have said people cannot wear a new type of smart glasses inside.

These glasses are made by a company called Meta and have a small camera built into them.

The people who run the venues are worried that the glasses could take photos or videos without permission.

They want to protect their customers and workers from being recorded in secret.

The glasses cost £359, which is quite expensive.

Meta asked a famous celebrity named Kylie Jenner to help advertise them.

A well-known restaurant owner named Jeremy King said guests should not wear the glasses in his restaurants.

He said he would never allow anyone's privacy to be invaded in his venues.

This has started a bigger talk about new technology and keeping people's privacy safe.
