Norway plans temporary smart glasses ban in some public places
What happened
Norway's government plans to temporarily ban smart glasses in some public places to address privacy risks from recording people without their knowledge, per an October 6 report. The ban could cover parks, beaches, museums, malls, schools, childcare centers, medical facilities, gyms and public events, but would not be a blanket prohibition. The government intends to submit the bill soon and has commissioned an expert group to draft permanent rules. The Labor Party, leading a minority government, still needs other parties' support to pass it. Oslo has already decided to ban camera-equipped glasses in schools.
