The ACLU and over 70 organizations have urged Meta to halt plans to integrate facial recognition technology into its smart glasses. The groups cite concerns over privacy and civil liberties, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable groups.
Meta is planning to add facial recognition to its smart glasses, but many organizations are opposed to the idea. The ACLU and over 70 groups have signed a letter urging Meta to stop its plans, citing concerns over privacy and civil liberties. The technology, reportedly called 'Name Tag,' could allow predators to harm others and lead to a surveillance state. The groups argue that Meta cannot be trusted to safely incorporate the technology and that it would violate some state privacy laws. Meta has not commented on the matter. The company's smart glasses are expected to launch this year, but the facial recognition feature has raised significant concerns.
