Delhi Man Sends Legal Notice to Meta and Instagram Creator Over Smart Glasses Recording
A Delhi man sent a legal notice to Meta and an Instagram creator after being covertly recorded with Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses at a cafe in July. The video was posted as an Instagram reel, garnering over 400,000 views and mocking comments. The notice alleges privacy invasion, defamation, and harassment, holding Meta liable for the device's design, which resembles regular spectacles and has an inadequate recording indicator. Meta and Instagram reportedly did not initially remove the content, citing community standards.
