Quartz reports the company acted after users tampered with privacy indicator lights.
Quartz states that Meta permanently disabled cameras on thousands of its smart glasses after detecting tampering with the privacy lights. The publication notes the company estimates the affected share is under 0.1 percent of units sold. Quartz links the move to LED tampering on the devices and points to millions of glasses sold this year as context for the scale. No first-party statement from Meta appears in the packet, so the account rests on the outlet's reporting alone.
