Wait...does this mean every time someone wearing a meta glass looked at me...rather its camera looked at me, meta stored my face for profiling purposes regardless of me being an user of meta Apps or not?? This is so messed up. Initially I thought that only friends of meta users used to get profiled via face recognition....wtf..but again it's meta...violated multiple privacy laws and as such....so not a surprise tbh
yea, they did that before the glasses too. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/media/20180524RES04208/20180524RES04208.pdf
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
