Ray-Ban smart glasses

Journalist Kashmir Hill is drawing attention to how facial recognition technology has spread into everyday surveillance, from security cameras to smart glasses like Meta's Ray-Ban devices. Her argument, framed as 'the end of privacy', notes that viral accounts already use such glasses to identify strangers in public, prompting debate over how little anonymity remains.

Gizmodo reports that Meta is running an active public relations campaign to improve how the public perceives its Ray-Ban smart glasses, following criticism over privacy and surveillance concerns. The company's effort to reshape the devices' reputation is described as being in full swing, with coverage and commentary focused on how effective the cleanup attempt is likely to be.
