the camera just got zoned out of the park. norway will propose a temporary ban on ai glasses in parks, per a reuters report on oct 5, making privacy law run ahead of the hardware.
the lens is now the regulated surface.
Context
Norway's government said on Oct 5 it plans to propose a temporary ban on AI glasses in selected places. Reuters quotes Minister Torgeir Micaelsen on the worry that people could be photographed, filmed or audio-recorded without knowing it.
The ban could cover places where the public regularly gathers, such as parks, beaches, museums, shopping centres and public events.
The Oct 5 date, Reuters as the source and the parks example match. It is a proposal for a temporary ban, not yet a rule. 'Privacy law running ahead of the hardware' is the author's framing.
'The lens is now the regulated surface' is the author's opinion.
