Meta’s Ray-Bans are being banned from pubs, restaurants, and theatres
High
Summary
Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are facing increasing bans in venues across the UK due to concerns about covert surveillance. The glasses, which resemble ordinary spectacles, can record audio and video, and a recent investigation revealed that this footage was being sent to Meta's servers and then to human workers in Kenya who labelled it for AI training. This led to the termination of a contract with Sama and a significant workforce reduction. Meta has attempted to address the issue with a ‘Name Tag’ feature, but concerns about privacy remain.
