Meta Embeds Face Recognition Code in Smart Glasses App - Memeburn
Summary
Meta has hidden dormant facial recognition code inside its AI companion app for Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. The code appears close to functional, but it is not active and is not currently transmitting biometric data. Security researchers say the system would identify people in the wearer’s field of view and store faceprints locally on the phone. The discovery raises major privacy concerns because Meta has already paid more than $2 billion in biometric privacy settlements. The story also highlights how privacy could become a key differentiator in the smart glasses market.
