Weeks ago, stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson posted on Threads that she'd recently been recorded, while intoxicated at a bar, by a man wearing Meta glasses. Johnson's case is not particularly news. From emerging lawsuits by women who claim their images were captured and used without consent, to reports of law enforcement using similar wearable technology in immigration enforcement contexts - including by U.S. ICE agents during raids - important questions concerning anonymity and consent around these devices are being raised. But apparently, not by the fashion industry.
Weeks ago, Kylie Jenner fronted a campaign for the Starfire Kylie Edition, Meta's latest smart glasses, co-designed with the influencer herself.
