Episode notes
LED Removal Enabled Harassment
- Reporters found a service to remove the recording LED from Meta glasses and resell them without the indicator.
- That ease enabled real-world harassment like recorded videos from massage parlors posted online.
Require Visible Or Notified Recording
- Use hardware and software limits to reduce misuse, like disabling photo/video capture in glasses.
- Broadcast recording intents to nearby devices so people receive notifications when someone records.
Fitness+ Is Ecosystem Glue
- Apple Fitness+ functions as a strategic value-add, not just a standalone profit center.
- Bundling it into Health Plus or Apple One increases device appeal and user retention.
