The data from your Meta Ray Bans is used to train Meta's AI, which most people don't understand means that humans are looking at the most intimate details of their lives. https://www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/metas-ai-smart-glasses-and-data-privacy-concerns-workers-say-we-see-everything

Meta’s AI Smart Glasses and Data Privacy Concerns: Workers Say “We See Everything”

Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

@evacide interested to know if there’s a view in the legality of their use in Europe. Collecting and processing personal data - explicitly including images - requires explicit consent under GDPR legislation.

This kit appears to fail the basic test?

@JimmyB

explicit consent is probably/most-definitely included in the T&C's of the glasses themselves - you turn them on, you consent.

GDPR only covers things others own with respect to you.

store loyalty cards even confer consent to the store that you signed up to.

don't sign up.

@evacide @maya_b yeah - it’s not the wearer I’m thinking of. It’s me - random in the street who is getting their image stored and processed… I am not consenting to that. And it’s the processing specifically which seems to be problematic

ahh yes, that's a GDPR violation (currently anyway), and meta is planning on adding facial recognition to the system which only makes it worse.

though if you have a FB, or another Meta account, I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some backdoor wording in the T&Cs there granting information processing.

(e.g. where are they getting your facial tracking info from in the first place?)

@evacide @maya_b right. And I’ve got a meta account because they bought WhatsApp…
