The workers behind Meta's smart glasses can see everything

Meta's AI-powered smart glasses, marketed as privacy-controlled assistants, secretly send users' most intimate recordings to human workers in Kenya who manually review footage including bathroom visits, sexual encounters, and other private moments. Despite assurances from retailers that data stays local, the glasses automatically transmit voice, video and image data to Meta's servers for processing by subcontractors like Sama, where thousands of data annotators label content to train AI systems while working under strict confidentiality agreements.
