  "account": "Factory workers who manufactured a Chinese brand of camera glasses were inadvertently filmed by the devices, according to footage found on the glasses. Seven Thirty reported that a pair of budget glasses purchased from Oho Sunshine, a Guangdong-based smart wearable technologies manufacturer, contained short videos taken inside the factory. The videos show workers inspecting the glasses while listening to electronic music and, in one instance, a worker shaking the glasses vigorously. Three other videos show only black with atmospheric audio, suggesting the glasses were activated inside a case or box. The sensitive shoot button on the frames can easily be activated. Oho Sunshine, founded in 2009, focuses on manufacturing smart wearable technologies, including camera glasses. The accidental leak offers a rare glimpse into the globalized production chain and raises concerns about privacy in the manufacturing process. Camera glasses are gaining popularity as cheap brands flood the market, with some models allowing users to record video and audio without people knowing. These devices, which can play music, make calls, and even live-stream, have sparked discussions about privacy and consent, particularly in the context of pick-up artists and male content creators.",
