Privacy Concerns Raised Over Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
Users report that Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses may be recording audio while in sleep mode, prompting privacy concerns and a response from Meta.
According to reports from Khaosod Online, users of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have raised significant privacy concerns after claiming the devices may be recording audio without authorization while in sleep mode. Multiple users took to Reddit to share their experiences, with at least three separate threads detailing instances where the glasses, which feature integrated AI, camera, and audio recording capabilities, appeared to activate independently.
One user reported encountering this behavior across three different pairs of glasses, spanning both second and third-generation models, suggesting the issue might not be isolated to a single device. These claims have sparked widespread anxiety regarding personal data security and potential unauthorized surveillance.
For residents and travelers using these devices in Thailand, this situation highlights the importance of being aware of how wearable technology handles data. While Meta has reportedly issued a statement claiming the issue has been addressed, the technical specifics of the fix and whether the problem is fully resolved across all firmware versions remain to be confirmed. Users are advised to monitor their device settings closely and stay informed on official updates from the manufacturer regarding privacy and recording indicators.
