Man Wearing Smart Glasses Secretly Records Woman, Demands Money to Delete Video From His Socials

A London woman says a man wearing smart glasses secretly filmed her, then demanded payment to delete the clip from social media.

The video spread across platforms and was re-uploaded before takedown efforts by TikTok and Meta, leaving her feeling exploited and powerless.

Police said they could not move the case forward because they lacked enough information.

The BBC report underscores wider concerns that smart glasses can be misused for covert, non-consensual recording in public places.
