‘This Is My Power Glass’: Woman Claims Man Wearing Meta Glasses Took Photos Inside Tamil Nadu Temple; Divides Internet

A woman confronted a man whom she believed was wearing smart glasses inside Tamil Nadu’s Thiruporur Murugan Temple and accused him of recording inside the temple premises, where photography and videography are reportedly prohibited. Their confrontation has gone viral, sparking a debate and leaving people divided on whether she was right in doing so.

The video, posted on X, began with the woman approaching the man and asking, “Sir, if you don’t mind, why are you using Meta glasses inside the temple?” She alleged that the man was walking around the temple while wearing the smart glasses and had taken photos and videos despite the prohibition of photography and videography in the temple premises.

“Who Said Meta Glasses?”

“This man was wearing Meta glasses and roaming here

and there, and he also taken video and images of Lord Murugan. So, in this Thiruporur temple, videos and images are prohibited, but he taken pictures,” she said. The man, however, denied recording people and questioned her accusations. “I am not taking anyone of people’s photo,” he told her.

When the woman continued to object, saying such smart glasses are not allowed inside the temple because they could invade people’s privacy, the man responded, “Who said that? This is my power glasses. Who said Meta glasses?” Still, the woman did not back down and continued to argue that the smart glasses pose a privacy concern, especially for women, children and elderly devotees.

The exchange escalated, with the man asking her who had given her the authority to question him. Later, she said she was an influencer and claimed she confronted the man for the security and safety of the devotees who had gathered at the temple. Notably, the claims made in the video cannot be independently verified.

“Such A Privacy Violation”

The video has since gone viral, leaving people divided. While some users supported the woman, others questioned whether the man had actually been wearing power glasses. Some also pointed out that she too filmed him without asking for his permission.

“Meta glasses are such a privacy violation. Who gives access to these companies? @PMOIndia there should be a ban on the glasses. You never know what they record. In India, privacy is a complete joke,” said a user.

“First, taking pictures of others and complaining about them on social media has led to many disastrous ends. If she is really concerned, just report to the concerned authority rather than gaining mere limelight on social media. He may not be recording, too,” another user wrote.

An individual asked, “Then why are you recording them? Doesnt mean that your video is invading their privacy?”

A different individual said, “You are in the wrong. You are not law enforcement to protect anyone. Unless you saw him do something really creepy, just mind your business. He has every right to wear them and take photos, unless photography is prohibited in the temple. Leave the phone outside too.”

“Both have valid points; can’t complain about both. Honestly, in camera-restricted areas, how can someone know whether they are recording or not? The person in the video can be genuine but can be misused by others in the name of power glasses. These glasses need regulations from the government,” someone else suggested.
