Watch the video to understand it better!

Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man’s Meta Smart Glasses on Subway

｢ While Meta built in a small LED light in the front of its glasses to indicate when it’s recording a video, it can easily be covered by a small piece of tape, making it trivially easy to spy on strangers in public without their knowledge or consent. As Daily Dot points out, people are even selling stickers for this specific purpose ｣

Wisst ihr noch, als aus #Facebook #Meta wurde?

Es ist einer der groessten Fails der Tech-Industrie & inzwischen 4 Jahre her. Ausloeser war die von #Zuckerberg propagierte Zukunft des Internets... das #Metaverse

Das hat jetzt nicht wirklich hingehauen. 4 Jahre spaeter und 70 Mrd US$ weniger auf dem Konto, treten die auf die Bremse!

WhatsApp Set to Face Stricter Content Moderation Rules in the EU

Well, this is whiplash: After leaving news behind, Meta is now bringing news back--CNN, Fox, People ... and The Daily Caller & Washington Examiner. Well, "news."
Bringing More Real-Time News and Content to Meta AI #Meta https://about.fb.com/news/2025/12/bringing-more-real-time-news-and-content-to-meta-ai/

How is this sovereign if OpenAI are involved? Answer: it’s not.

#OpenAI are getting up there with #Meta as the absolute worst big tech you can use. Anything else is preferable.

I hope nobody is surprised that #Meta hid evidence of the harmful effects of use of #Facebook and #Instagram - the cigarette and oil industries have shown how easy it is to mislead the public about major health impacts of products we use…
