Norway Considers Rules for “Pervert Glasses” and Facial Recognition

Norway is considering regulatory action involving so-called “pervert glasses” and the use of facial recognition, according to Decrypt. The country’s consumer watchdog has called on retailers to stop selling the devices while the legal framework remains unclear. The move adds pressure for authorities to establish how the technology should be governed, including whether facial-recognition functions should be prohibited. No final ban or completed regulatory decision was reported in the source material. The development is relevant to companies and digital-technology markets because it highlights growing scrutiny of devices that may capture or identify people in public or private settings. Retailers have been urged to pause sales pending greater legal clarity, but the source did not provide details on the devices affected, the proposed scope of any facial-recognition ban, or a timetable for government action.
