Influencers Secretly Film Women With Smart Glasses
8.2
A BBC investigation (published recently) found men using Ray‑Ban Meta smart glasses to covertly film women in public across the UK, US and Australia, with some videos amassing millions of views. Clips exposed personal details—such as a phone number—leading to sustained harassment; platforms removed some content only after media contact. Charities and government officials call for stronger device safeguards and legal protections.
