Overview

  • Luxe Wrap Stars is selling precision-cut vinyl “GhostDots” on TikTok Shop that claim to block the LED recording light on Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses.
  • Promotional videos for the stickers have drawn over 2 million views and are believed to have generated at least 500 sales through TikTok.
  • WIRED’s hands-on testing showed that covering the LED sensor with the stickers triggers a safety lock and disables photo and video functions.
  • Following WIRED’s inquiry, TikTok briefly removed the listings overnight but restored the storefront and continues algorithmic promotion via sponsored posts.
  • Both Meta and TikTok declined to comment on record regarding the availability and promotion of the aftermarket sticker workaround.
