Recent tech releases have sparked privacy concerns, with new LG TVs able to record users in the background and requiring owners to notify visitors to comply with "wiretapping" laws. Nothing's new earbuds feature a 'squeeze the stems to record calls' function called Audio Snapshot, described as phone-hacking in cute packaging. Meta's AI glasses continue to face backlash, with people calling for camera-less versions despite a feature that stops recordings if the front-firing light is tampered with. Lauren Hendry Parsons, a director at the non-profit Mozilla Foundation and digital rights advocate, views these developments as part of a bigger pattern pushing to normalize consumer surveillance. She notes that surveillance has moved from being tied to fixed places like smart speakers in the Internet of Things home devices to "surveillance-chic behaviors," where fashion influencers share Ring doorbells to show off outfits. This shift moves surveillance from something fixed inside a home to more pervasive, mobile contexts.
