The Rs 2.05 crore question: Can Meta be blamed for what its glasses record?

A Delhi man has sent a legal notice to an Instagram creator and Meta, alleging he was harassed and covertly filmed at a café using Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The incident occurred on July 24 at a Costa Coffee outlet in Delhi’s Khan Market, where a stranger approached him, insulted him, and allegedly recorded the interaction using the glasses. The video was posted on Instagram and gained over 4.19 lakh views. The victim reported the video and the account to Instagram, but the platform reportedly dismissed the complaint as not violating its Community Standards. The legal notice also holds Meta liable for the design and marketing of the glasses, marking a potential first in India regarding smart-glass accountability. The case remains pending in court.
