The things you record with your AI-powered Meta Ray-Ban glasses — yes, even those intimate moments where you think you’re alone — are probably being seen by strangers.

An investigation by Swedish outlets Svenska Dagbladet and Göteborgs-Posten found that offshore Meta workers in Kenya were asked to analyze intimate and even “disturbing” videos taken by glasses wearers, including videos taken in bathrooms, footage featuring nudity and sexual content, and images showing personal information like bank accounts. It’s part of a process known as data labeling, used to train AI models with footage first reviewed and annotated by humans so that the AI can understand what it’s “looking” at.

Workers told the publication that many of the videos appear to be moments captured when users weren’t aware they were being recorded. The group works under Sama, the same Meta contractor facing a class action lawsuit on behalf of content moderators who allege they have been exploited and forced to review traumatic content without proper working conditions.

At this point it would probably be safest for people to avoid anything produced by Meta or any audio/video product from Silicon Valley.  They have proven time and time again to be untrustworthy, greedy, exploitive, unconcerned with individual privacy, unconcerned with worker protection, contemptuous of user non-consent, servile to power, and lacking any accountability.  This behavior demands a boycott or regulation.
