> Norway’s government plans to introduce a bill temporarily banning camera-equipped smart glasses in parks, beaches, museums, shopping centres, schools, healthcare facilities, gyms and public events, while allowing private use. Digital affairs minister Torgeir Micaelsen said he was concerned people could be recorded without their knowledge. The proposal still needs support from other parties.
