I'm a little confused by your comment. The glasses pictured in the article look like a pretty standard pair of modern Wayfarers.

#5Surprising it’s the DPC piping up. They aren’t generally known as an aggressive regulator

Maybe just a proactive move. The DPC asks, FB answers, all is good, no privacy problems.
And the indicator LED can easily be hidden with tape or these laptop camera stickers, if you are more into the ironic touch.

Just to comment on your take about the brand itself. Ray-Ban is owned by the Luxottica Group, who are set to merge with Essilor - looking at ~25% global value of eyewear.
This means they own enough to possibly a) start normalising this whole thing by pushing out with other brands and b) Ray-Ban now bombing could be a credible calculated risk.

#10“Smart” is almost an exaggeration in this case. They don’t have any AR, so it’s just a camera basically, as far as I heard.
