However, if they have glass protectors on, depending on the angle they're held, the distance from us (hard to tell in the ant sized video how far back this video is taken from), the direction of the light and what might actually be reflecting off the glass screens - they could appear to be off even though they are not.
It could be possible that some of those people have a privacy screen protector on, so ones at more of an angle may appear to not have any image show up on them even though they actually do, so that is a possibility.
I think stupid things like this should be left to stupid people. Who actually gives a fuck if someone is taking a video of Biden. Some people do like him or some people may not like him, but just because he's the current sitting president they want to record that interaction. Folks, you need to find better things to do with your time.
