Meta Updates AI Glasses Privacy Features Amid Concerns Over Unauthorized Filming
Meta has acknowledged privacy concerns with its AI-powered smart glasses after reports of users secretly filming others without consent. The company has updated the glasses to disable recording if the camera's LED indicator is tampered with and is removing content and accounts linked to misuse. Meta faces a class action lawsuit alleging misrepresentation of privacy practices and has launched a public awareness campaign to inform people about the glasses' recording features. Over seven million pairs have been sold since 2025.
