Meta glasses were caught spying on their users once more. Meta was quick to “fix” and therefore admit it: “This issue has been resolved…”

    duh, unless you ‘ask’ them by pressing a button they have to be continuously listening to hear the ‘hey zuckbot’ or whatever phrase they use.

    The whole ‘hey siri/hey google/hey online bookshop/etc’ voice activation thing needs to go. If you want to put it in your own house with a ‘smart’ speaker, that’s your choice but it shouldn’t be on phones/tablets/glasses/etc where it can be used to eavesdrop.

      I like how you implied the “please don’t record me” button won’t stop them recording you

      (because you’re right, it’ll be purely ornamental)
