Meta's smart glasses, designed to look like ordinary eyewear to avoid the pitfalls of Google Glass, are facing criticism for privacy concerns. Activist groups have targeted advertisements, recasting the product as surveillance technology rather than a lifestyle accessory. Critics argue that the single LED indicator for recording is insufficient for meaningful consent, and Meta's proposed solutions do not adequately address the core design and policy issues. The company's approach to privacy is seen as a strategic adjustment rather than a fundamental commitment, potentially damaging its reputation and ceding ground to competitors like Apple and Google who emphasize privacy.
