The Privacy Problem With Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses

This episode discusses Meta Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, which blend a camera, microphone, AI features, and social media integration into sunglasses that look like normal fashion eyewear, raising major privacy concerns. It highlights reports that footage captured by the glasses may be reviewed by human contractors to help train Meta’s AI systems, and notes critics’ concerns about how easily people can be recorded in public without their knowledge. Although the glasses include a small LED indicator when recording, many people reportedly don’t notice it. ** Links mentioned on the show ** People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans “Pervert Glasses” https://futurism.com/future-society/meta-ray-ban-smart-pervert-glasses Meta Employees Are Seeing R-Rated Footage From Its Users’ AI Glasses https://www.inc.com/ava-levinson/meta-employees-are-seeing-r-rated-footage-footage-from-its-users-ai-glasses/91311763 Think Twice Before Buying or Using Meta’s Ray-Bans https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/think-twice-buying-or-using-metas-ray-bans ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
