Meta Sued Over AI Smart Glasses' Privacy Concerns
Meta is facing a lawsuit over its AI-powered smart glasses, which allegedly send sensitive footage to human reviewers in Kenya. The lawsuit claims that Meta's marketing materials promised privacy and user control over sharing footage, but an investigation found that subcontractors are reviewing footage from customers' glasses.
The lawsuit was filed on March 5, 2026, and alleges that Meta's smart glasses are violating users' privacy rights. The glasses use AI to detect and analyze footage, which is then sent to human reviewers in Kenya for further review.
The lawsuit claims that Meta's marketing materials promised that users would have control over what footage is shared and with whom. However, the investigation found that subcontractors are reviewing footage without users' consent.
Meta has not commented on the lawsuit, but the company has faced criticism in the past for its handling of user data.
