Instagram cracks down on growing ‘pervert glasses’ problem with Meta Ray-Bans

Meta claims its glasses have privacy safeguards like an LED indicator for recordings, but a lawsuit alleges contractors in Kenya accessed sensitive user footage. The glasses, part of Meta's AI-powered wearable expansion, face scrutiny as shipments surged 167% in Q1 2026.
