A guy and his friends came up to us at a bar asking to play Jenga. My friends agreed, but while playing something seemed off with the way they were talking and making conversation. Then I looked closer and realized he'd been recording us the entire conversation.
When I called it out, he admitted he was livestreaming us to his followers. He told us he's a content creator, but we never gave consent. We got out of there fast.
Here's what actually scared me. I own the OG Meta Ray-Bans. My friends clowned me because the recording light is a huge obvious flash, you can see it from across a room. His were the newest version. The light just dims faintly now. You'd never know unless you were staring right at it.
