Wetherspoon pubs bar customers from filming or recording while wearing Meta “spy glasses,” according to reports that cite growing privacy concerns. The glasses use a built-in 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera designed to capture video discreetly in public settings. Media coverage also notes that Meta’s product has been associated with celebrity branding, including claims that entrepreneur Kylie Jenner has her own related range of such glasses.
The reports say the pub operator’s restriction is aimed at addressing worries that discreet recording could capture other patrons without consent. While the outlets focus on the camera capability and the product’s discreet design, they do not provide detailed information on enforcement procedures or any broader policy affecting other types of filming. The ban reflects a move by a hospitality business to manage how patrons use wearable recording devices inside venues, where privacy expectations may be higher than in outdoor public spaces.
