Meta Updates Instagram Policy to Ban Harassing Videos from Smart Glasses
Meta is tightening Instagram's policies to ban users who post harassing videos recorded with its smart glasses, responding to public concerns about privacy and unauthorized recordings. Instagram will remove such content to combat harassment involving wearable technology. While Meta has introduced safeguards like recording indicator lights, critics note these can be bypassed. The company has already banned some pranksters under this policy, but enforcement details remain unclear amid ongoing backlash over privacy issues linked to smart glasses.
