Meta Updates AI Glasses Privacy Features Amid Filming Concerns and Lawsuit
Meta has updated privacy features on its AI-powered smart glasses following concerns about users filming others without consent. The company disabled cameras if the recording LED light is physically obstructed, preventing hidden recording. A class action lawsuit alleges Meta misrepresented privacy practices, including storing footage for AI training. Meta is also launching a public awareness campaign and removing online content related to tampering and harassment. Over seven million pairs of the glasses were sold in 2025, prompting scrutiny over privacy and data handling.
