  • This is The Guardian.

  • Today, do matter smart glasses threaten our right to privacy?

  • The Brighton Marathon, a hot day in April, watching a friend run it.

  • My friend had made a sign, and we were sort of walking between different places

  • on the marathon course to catch our friend running past.

  • This is Kate.

  • She lives in London and works in TV.

  • Brighton split on two levels, the seafront,

  • and we were climbing the stairs between the two levels and heard someone speaking to us who was very chatty,

  • friendly and talking.

  • And I instantly was like, oh, this is an interaction that hasn't been invited.

  • I'm going to keep walking up these stairs.

  • And my friend turned back to chat to him and was more engaged in the conversation.

  • And they chatted about her sign.

  • And then we got to the top of the stairs and he said goodbye.

  • Think much more of her interaction on the street that day until we got sent a video from tiktok where a friend said oh

  • look you guys are on tiktok which was a video filmed with his meta glasses which we had n't noticed had n't noticed

  • that he was wearing glasses at all i truly do n't think i even knew or was conscious of what meta glasses were i got

  • sent it i looked i felt weird about it but i did n't really know why i felt weird about it at first I was like,

  • oh, OK, I 've been filmed without knowing.
