Meta adding face recognition technology to its smart glasses would violate the privacy rights of millions of people and cost the company billions of dollars in legal battles. It should abandon its plans. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/02/seven-billion-reasons-facebook-abandon-its-face-recognition-plans

Seven Billion Reasons for Facebook to Abandon its Face Recognition Plans

Meta’s analysis that it can avoid scrutiny by releasing a privacy invasive product during a time of political crisis is craven and morally bankrupt. It is also dead wrong.

@eff

It seems these #billionaire #bigtech companies always just spawn shit and society has to deal with the outcome and consequences.

@eff it depends on where you are wearing the glasses. If you are outside in a public space then no one has an expectation of privacy. However, inside of a private building is a different matter. Plus, different states have different laws regarding recording. Some state are one party consent and others are two party, etc. Jist to be clear, I am talking about the USA only.

@eff If I'm on a jury and the person filing the complaint was wearing Meta glasses, their assailant is getting off.
