Meta has announced additional security measures for its smart glasses, including disabling the camera function if tampering is detected. The update aims to prevent unauthorized manipulation of the devices, which have been targeted by online guides showing how to disable their safety features. Since the glasses were released, numerous videos and photos have surfaced online, often capturing individuals without their knowledge, sometimes depicting them in a sexualized manner. A Meta representative told The Verge that the security update was announced earlier this year but remains hidden within lengthy documentation. The company previously stated users are responsible for how they use the glasses. The controversy surrounding Meta’s smart glasses extends beyond privacy concerns, as Swedish media revealed that training data used for AI functions was shared with low-wage workers in Kenya.
