Norway's government is weighing bans on camera-enabled smart glasses and facial recognition in public to protect privacy.
Norway's digital minister Karianne Tung said the government is considering regulating or banning camera-enabled wearables such as Meta and Snap smart glasses over privacy concerns. Potential measures may include banning facial recognition of other people in public places. The government plans to set up an expert group to advise on better protecting privacy rights amid a trend of combining AI with cameras and microphones in everyday devices.

Norway announces investigations into telecom Telenor’s work with Myanmar junta
Norwegian police opened crimes-against-humanity and sanctions investigations into Telenor's data handovers to Myanmar's junta, raiding its Oslo headquarters.
Norway's National Criminal Investigation Service is investigating Telenor for complicity in crimes against humanity for repeatedly handing over historical customer traffic data to Myanmar's military regime between the February 2021 coup and the March 2022 subsidiary sale. The Police Security Service is separately probing sanctions violations because the sale to M1 Group included sanctioned surveillance equipment transferred without foreign ministry permission. The subsequent resale passed historical call data of over 18 million people to junta-linked owners, and a class action on behalf of 1,200 people alleges the data enabled arrests, torture, and at least one execution.
