behind Meta\u2019s smart glasses.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Metais\">Meta is facing a new lawsuit in the US over privacy concerns tied to its AI smart glasses.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Thelegal\">The legal complaint follows investigative reporting indicating that contractors working for a Kenya-based subcontractor reviewed footage captured by users\u2019 devices, including sensitive personal scenes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Thelawsuit\">The lawsuit alleges that some of the reviewed material included nudity and other intimate activities recorded by the glasses\u2019 cameras.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Accordingto\">According to the complaint, the footage formed part of a data review process designed to improve the AI system integrated into the wearable device.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Plaintiffsclaim\">Plaintiffs claim Meta marketed the product as prioritising user privacy, citing advertisements suggesting that the glasses were \u2018designed for privacy\u2019 and that users remained in control of their personal data.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Thecomplaint\">The complaint argues that such messaging could mislead consumers if the footage were subject to human review without clear disclosure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Alegal\">A legal action that also names eyewear manufacturer Luxottica, which partnered with Meta to produce the glasses.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Meanwhilethe\">Meanwhile, the UK\u2019s Information Commissioner\u2019s Office has begun examining the issue after reports that face-blurring safeguards may not have consistently protected individuals captured in the recordings.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Wouldyou\"><strong>Would you like to learn
