Senators Wyden and Markey demand Meta answer smart glasses privacy concerns
Overview
Senators Ron Wyden and Edward Markey sent Meta a letter demanding answers on privacy risks from its smart glasses.
The letter cites 404 Media's October 2025 investigation into people using the glasses to harass massage parlor workers, and says Meta's own disclosures confirm that imagery processed through the glasses' visual AI features may be retained and used to train AI systems, including with human reviewers.
The senators ask what safeguards exist, whether Meta evaluated voyeurism risks, what imagery is used for AI training, and whether people can request deletion of their data.
