The disclosures, stemming from an investigation into a Kenya-based subcontractor, have already drawn scrutiny from the U.K.\u2019s Information Commissioner\u2019s Office and reignited a global debate over \u201calways-on\u201d consumer AI devices.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint, brought by New Jersey resident Gina Bartone and California resident Mateo Canu and filed by Clarkson Law Firm, accuses Meta of misleading consumers about how recordings from Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses are used. Plaintiffs argue that the glasses were pitched with phrases such as \u201cdesigned for privacy\u201d and \u201ccontrolled by you,\u201d while failing to clearly warn that human reviewers could watch clips captured in private settings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1344\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findarticles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ray-ban_meta_smart_glasses_edited_1772733675.png\" alt=\"A pair of black Ray-Ban smart glasses with blue light filtering lenses, presented on a white background with a subtle reflection.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Beyond Meta, the filing names Luxottica of America, the glasses manufacturing partner, alleging violations of consumer protection and false advertising laws.
