Meta Introduces New Rules for Smart Glasses
Meta, the company that owns Instagram, has made new rules for smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Ban.
These glasses can take videos and pictures, but some people use them to secretly record others without their permission.
This can be used to harass or bother people.
Meta's head, Adam Mosseri, said that if someone posts videos taken with these glasses to harass others, they could be banned from Instagram.
Meta has already banned two people who used the glasses to record strangers and post the videos online.
This new rule is because many people are worried about their privacy and how these glasses can be misused.
Even though there are concerns, many companies are still making and experimenting with smart glasses.
Meta introduces new Instagram policy to combat misuse of smart glasses.
Users posting harassing content recorded with smart glasses may face a ban.
Meta has already banned two prank creators under the new harassment policy.
Public concern over smart glasses' privacy risks is growing.
Meta has not disclosed how it plans to enforce the new rule.
