Solved! Now Meta is a pro-privacy company. /s
It is 10 years too late to trust Meta on anything.

“In addition to disabling the camera on devices when tampering is detected, we work across Meta to remove ads, posts, and Marketplace listings that advertise these kinds of tampering services and we will take action, up to banning accounts that do this.”
Disable our glasses LED.. straight to jail! Tamper with elections and influence votes across a country… meh.

Seems like the next evolution of a cat-and-mouse game between Meta and the modders. How long before the new tamper protection is defeated?

pull out the led, check its resistance, put a resistor/diode of the same resistance in it's place, and the continuity circuit will be happy.
works on many many circuits, and if you are lazy or after another type of work.around, just put in a trim pot , which just might make a boost controller "think" it's on top of mount everist and provide a few more psi, or well several bar, whoooosh, wheeeeee
cheat responsibly

The odds of this being effective are very, very low. Low enough that I'll still avoid being near anyone wearing a pair of spy glasses regardless of whether or not an LED is glowing.

I have yet to understand how are these glasses useful to any normal people other than creeps? If you want to record simply use phone.
