- Meta is adding a new safeguard to its AI glasses designed to stop people from secretly recording others.
- The safeguard arrives as Meta continues to expand how much personal data its AI products collect and use, creating a direct contrast with the privacy-focused gesture.
Why it matters: Meta's new safeguard targets one visible privacy flashpoint — covert glasses recordings — but lands alongside expanded personal data collection across its AI products, so users and regulators focused on the company's broader AI data practices may see the move as cosmetic rather than substantive.
