Curated from another sourceNorway Proposes National Restrictions on Smart Glasses
Norway's government has proposed temporary restrictions on AI-enabled smart glasses in various public spaces, including beaches, parks, swimming pools, changing rooms, and showers. Announced on October 5, 2026, the proposal is not yet law, and the minority Labour government requires support from other parties to pass it. While private use and accessibility exceptions would be allowed, the ban aims to prevent unauthorized recording in sensitive areas. The exact definition of the restricted devices is still being determined.

This development is important for naturists because restricting recording-capable smart glasses in spaces like beaches, pools, and changing rooms helps safeguard personal privacy and prevent non-consensual filming.
