The rise of spy glasses - do they worry you?
There was a woman on TikTok absolutely horrified at the fact that in the middle of her waxing appointment she realised her waxer was wearing these rayban meta recording glasses. The waxer claimed they were “switched off” but why on earth would you be wearing them whilst waxing vulvas? Come on.

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby
“Name Tag,” as the feature is called, would let smart glasses wearers identify people and get information about them from Meta’s AI assistant, the report said. Is there any benign use for such a feature? It's like they're deliberately marketing this thing to stalkers.
