Harvard students used Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses to demonstrate how easily facial recognition technology can reveal personal details like names and addresses, raising serious privacy concerns.

    You have allowed FreakBook to collect all your private data and photos of your face and body parts for so many years.

    Now you are having questions when somebody actually uses them?

      This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.

      The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it’s legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.

        I thought the comment was about “giving PimEyes training data via interacting with Facebook”.

          PimEyes doesn’t use images or data from Facebook or other social media.

          It’s a click bait article that’s been regurgitating through the less informed part of the tech news world because it has Meta in its title and it sounds scary.

          Actually good articles covering it would point out that the flaw is entirely a legislative one, where America and a large chunk of the world simply have zero privacy rights or protections.

            I know this title is misleading. Sorry if I made a mistake, I just know that some facial recognition systems (including the one used in our cities) use data from multiple public sources including social media, so assumed this one was the same.

      This article focuses to much on the glasses/face recognition tech while the actual problem is the database with of personal information and its public accessibility.
