How do they ask permission without filming them first though? With such a device, I'd assume it is always recording and sending data to Meta servers.

I'm not sure how it's working but if it was saving to your phone then uploading instantly to FB, it would be caining TF out of the users data allowance!

Just did a little digging and it does but you can use them without a data connection so you could avoid uploading any footage to them
