"Seconds after Isobel Thomason turned down a stranger on the street asking for her number, he approached her again with an unabashed confession: I'm actually a content creator and I've been filming this.

Experts warn predators increasingly use such devices to film women without consent, risking multiple online and real-world harms. Meta acknowledges misuse by a small number of people and cites measures intended to prevent covert recording.
