Meta sued over Ray-Ban glasses footage being reviewed by humans
Meta is facing a class-action lawsuit after users claimed their Ray-Ban smart glasses footage, including private moments like nudity and other intimate situations, was reviewed by contractors in Kenya.
The suit, filed by Gina Bartone and Mateo Canu, says Meta's promise that the glasses were "designed for privacy, controlled by you" was misleading.
Users weren't told that humans would review their recordings to train AI.
Contractors blur faces, filter content for safety, says Meta
Lawyers say core AI features may require human review; about seven million Ray-Ban smart glasses were reportedly sold (source does not specify a year), raising risks like emotional distress, stalking, or even identity theft.
Meta responded that media stay on your device unless you share it with them or use AI features, adding that contractors blur faces and filter content for safety.
After the Swedish reports, the issue drew attention in the UK, including coverage noting how UK terms reference possible human review of content.
