📱 Meta's most privacy-intrusive glasses
Meta is developing facial recognition technology for its smart glasses and future camera-equipped headsets.

This feature, part of "super sensing" mode, would allow nearby faces to be identified by name, but only with voluntary activation by the user.
But there's something even worse: people wouldn't be notified or have to give consent to be scanned.
Although the current Ray-Ban Meta glasses turn on a light when recording, Meta is considering removing this signal in future versions.
Additionally, the company has adjusted its privacy policies, enabling AI by default and removing the option to opt out of storing voice recordings.
