However, with Trapwire's [facial recognition technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infraredblocking-eyewear) many find their privacy has been invaded. To combat the attack of average everyday faces being monitored by a computer miles away in the hub of the super power nation, [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-app) seller Uvproductionhouse created the Justice Fedora. This anti-surveillance accessory uses LED lights on its brim to blind night-vision and low-light surveillance cameras. By blocking consumers faces, the Justice Fedora challenges the NSA's security platform and prevents them from linking people’s faces to the NSA database, tying them into their phone records, tax returns, etc. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Anti-surveillance Fashion:** Entrepreneurs can explore how fashion can address privacy concerns and disrupt surveillance technologies. - **LED Interference:** Innovators can experiment with LED technology to interfere with surveillance systems and protect consumers' privacy. - **Privacy Protection Accessories:** Businesses can create accessories that protect consumers' personal information and privacy from being monitored by surveillance technologies. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can incorporate privacy protection elements into their designs and disrupt the surveillance industry. - **Technology:** Tech companies can develop anti-surveillance technologies to protect consumers' privacy and challenge governmental surveillance systems. - **Security:** Security companies can explore ways to protect individuals from being monitored by surveillance technologies and offer privacy protection solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar-Powered Glow-in-the-Dark Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-solar-charged-hat.md) - [Space‑grade Privacy Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electromagnetic-shielding-jacket.md) - [Electromagnetic Shielding Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ohmni.md) - [Optical Illusion Invisibility Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisibility-shield.md) - [Eye-Tracking Privacy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/privacy-apps.md) - [Low-Profile Connectivity-Blocking Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slnt-incognito-faraday-backpack.md) - [Clipping Strap-Free Headlamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebo-einstein-cap-light.md) - [Digital Avatar LED Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qudi-mask-2.md) - [Futuristic Headgear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonveil-collection.md)
