Remembering when a Meta spokesman balked at 404 reporting last year on a CBP agent seen wearing Meta glasses at an immigration raid. Now imagine they have facial recognition https://www.404media.co/a-cbp-agent-wore-meta-smart-glasses-to-an-immigration-raid-in-los-angeles/

Video obtained and verified by 404 Media shows a CBP official wearing Meta's AI glasses, which are capable of recording and connecting with AI. “I think it should be seen in the context of an agency that is really encouraging its agents to actively intimidate and terrorize people," one expert said.
