Meta warned by dozens of organizations that facial recognition on its smart glasses would empower predators
Dozens of civil rights organizations have urged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to abandon plans to incorporate facial recognition technology into its smart glasses, citing concerns that it would empower predators and stalkers. The coalition, including groups like the ACLU and Electronic Privacy Information Center, argues that the technology, internally known as 'Name Tag,' cannot be made safe through design changes and wants the feature completely eliminated. Meta has faced similar public outcry and legal challenges regarding facial recognition in the past.
