Newsom vetoes smart glasses privacy bill

California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB-1130, which would have banned secretly recording people with wearables in changing rooms and doctors' offices. Newsom said the bill's language was too broad and could cover smartwatches. Penalties would have reached $1,500 for violators and $2,500 per violation for manufacturers.
