😎 New privacy frontier: Europe eyes crackdown on smart glasses

｢ Europe's privacy concerns risk spoiling the rollout of Meta's eye-catching flagship product in the region. That could annoy the U.S. administration, which has long complained that EU laws and regulations unfairly target U.S. technology companies. ｣

Schade, dass Ray Ban Brillen untragbar geworden sind. Sahen eigentlich cool aus.

BRUSSELS — Europe is ramping up its warnings over the surveillance risks of smart glasses, in what is seen as the next big fight over people's physical privacy.
The technology, which integrates cameras into glasses, is facing increased scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators, who are ramping up discussions on whether it goes against Europe's privacy regulations. Privacy activists are warning the glasses violate key principles like consent, since people captured in the built-in cameras can't really object to their data being processed. Concerns peaked when Swedish media reported earlier this year that subcontractors for Meta in Kenya were reviewing “deeply private” footage captured by the firm's smart glasses to help annotate the content to train artificial intelligence models. It included recordings of people's bathroom visits, banking details, or even them having sex.

Es ist eine unglaubliche gewissenlose Obszönität, dass #Smart-Glasses einfach mal so in die Öffentlichkeit geschmissen werden, ohne Regeln, ohne Kontrolle, ohne Nix. Ekelhaft. Von wegen, "wir wollen euch schützen". Da wird auch die " #Warn-App" nur ein Tropfen auf dem heissen Frauenkörper sein.
