- croes 5y agoMaybe just a proactive move. The DPC asks, FB answers, all is good, no privacy problems. And the indicator LED can easily be hidden with tape or these laptop camera stickers, if you are more into the ironic touch.

Essentially these glasses are a cheap version of what spies have been wearing for decades, so of course it's going to raise eyebrows. Putting surveillance powers in the hands of everyday folk invariably leads to bad things.
- lmkg 5y agoThe Irish regulator is the one with jurisdiction, so they're the one that's on point for this topic. They're also quite proactive in offering guidance, material, and feedback. Their cookie sweep from a few years back is something I still reference on a regular basis for the contours of "strictly necessary." They just don't actually regulate. They offer a lot of guidance and ask a lot of strong-worded questions, but those don't turn into fines.
