Meta's AI Glasses Send Sensitive Footage to Human Reviewers in Kenya

An investigation by Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten has revealed that Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses may be sending sensitive footage captured with the device to human reviewers in Nairobi, Kenya. According to the report, contractors in Kenya have allegedly viewed videos from the smart glasses containing intimate moments, including bathroom visits and personal relationships. The discovery has sparked a proposed class action lawsuit accusing Meta of violating false advertising and privacy laws. The company had claimed that its smart glasses were designed with user privacy in mind, but the investigation suggests otherwise.
