On the internet every company does User profiling mainly for advert purposes...its impossible to escape these days but what's most concerning about glasses was face data was pretty easily made available by the user...still advert and tracking cookies can be blocked...but meta glass camera? Which is basically one of its most highpoint feature? I doubt anyone will heights to block it physically considering that they cost an arm and a leg
