We don't like that at all

The Data Protection Commission in Ireland, Facebook's lead privacy regulator in Europe, has asked Facebook to demonstrate an LED indicator light on its pair of "smart" Ray-Ban sunglasses -- which lights up when the user is taking a video.

Italy's privacy watchdog, the Garante, already raised concerns about Facebook's smart glasses which seem to be a rather good way to film people who are not aware of it.

If the specs have a big glowing LED light, it might mean that people can avoid the creepy looking bloke glowing like a Christmas Tree, or call the cops.

The first Facebook Ray-Ban-branded specs went on sale earlier this month " looking mostly like a standard pair of sunglasses but containing two 5 MP cameras mounted on the front that enable the user to take video of whatever they're looking at and upload it to a new Facebook app called View.
