Meta sparks privacy fears after unveiling $299 Smart Glasses with hidden cameras: ‘You can now film everyone without them knowing’::These stylish shades may look like a regular pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but they're actually Meta's new Smart Glasses, complete with two tiny cameras and speakers implanted in the arms. The wearable tech was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg Wednesday at the 2023 Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, sparking a frenzy online.

I don't think "you can film everyone without then knowing" is something Facebook wants to advertise

Yes it is and they are hoping to sell a bunch of them for more than they are worth before the backlash gets loud enough and they have to stop. But it will give a big boost of sales for sure for a minute

What backlash has ever prevented Meta from doing absolutely whatever the fuck they want?
