Meta's smart glasses companion app ships a complete, dormant face-recognition pipeline on a stock account.

Stella is the companion app for Meta's smart glasses. Inspecting version 273.0.0.21 of the Android build (com.facebook.stella), I found the entire computational and storage stack for on-device facial recognition: three face models, a local database schema, a cosine-similarity vector index dimensioned to match the models,

“A recent briefing by health and human rights organizations, including Medact and Just Treatment, raises alarm over spy-technology firm Palantir’s involvement in the British National Health Service (NHS).
