"Meta's AI-powered smart glasses could be sending sensitive footage to human reviewers in Nairobi, Kenya, according to an investigation by the Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten. The report claims Meta contractors in Kenya have seen videos captured with the smart glasses that show "bathroom visits, sex and other intimate moments.""
"By affirmatively claiming that the Glasses were designed to protect privacy, Meta assumed a duty to disclose material facts that would inform a reasonable consumer's decision to purchase the product. Instead, Meta hid the alarming reality: that use of the AI features results in a stranger halfway around the world watching the most private moments."
An investigation by Swedish newspapers Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten revealed that Meta contractors in Nairobi have accessed footage from Meta's AI-powered smart glasses showing bathroom visits, nudity, and intimate moments. This discovery contradicts Meta's marketing claims that the glasses are designed to protect privacy. The revelation has prompted at least one proposed class action lawsuit against Meta, alleging violations of false advertising and privacy laws. The lawsuit argues that Meta failed to disclose material facts about how the AI features operate, specifically that human reviewers in distant locations would view users' most private moments.
