‘Pervert glasses’: Backlash against Meta’s smart glasses grows

Meta wants its smart glasses to be a big hit, but the high-tech specs have also turned into a liability, as some are calling the gadget “pervert glasses.”

The social media giant dominates the market for smart glasses, which allow people to capture photos and videos, listen to music, take phone calls and ask questions to an artificial intelligence assistant.

Some people are using the glasses — which look like a pair of regular spectacles — to record people without their knowledge and publish the videos on social media.

The users secretly videotape and share what happens when they try to pick up women. Now, a growing number of people are worried they could be covertly recorded at the gym or even during sex.
