Privacy Advocates Call to Block Meta's Facial Recognition Glasses

Meta’s reported plan to add facial recognition to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses has prompted privacy advocates, regulators, and U.

S. senators to seek scrutiny or intervention before deployment. Critics warn that combining discreet recording with real-time identification could enable stalking, doxxing, profiling, and identification of people in sensitive public settings. The feature has not been publicly confirmed by Meta, and no launch timeline has been established.
